Analysis of the impact of economic crisis on implementation of structural and cohesion funds

In December 2013, EEIP elaborated the study  “Analysis of the Impact of the Economic Crisis on the Implementation of Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund in the Czech Republic” for the Ministry of Regional Development. This study, the aim of which was to analyze the impacts of the economic and financial crisis on the implementation of European funds, was designed as the background material for negotiations of representatives of the Czech state with the EU about the prolongation of the implementation period for EU funds allocated for years 2007 – 2013 by one year. Any extension would provide more time for successful completion of projects still in the phase of realization and increase the success of the Czech Republic in implementation of the EU funds.
