EU's structural policy is based on shared responsibility divided between member states on the one hand, and the European Commission on the other. While member states bear responsibility for managing structural funds on the national and regional level, the European Commission takes an ultimate responsibility for executing the budget and managing funds in the right way. Structural funds and Cohesion Fund constitute a particularly significant instrument of the European Union's economic policy. The goal of economic and social cohesion of the member states is to be attained in a series of activities aimed at accelerating the process of diminishing discrepancies between individual regions of the Community. The key issue for the Polish economy in the period of 2004-2006 is continuing the development of such elements of transport infrastructure, which lead to an increased competitiveness of the economy. Modernized transport infrastructure will contribute to an increased competitiveness of goods and services, of entire sectors, regions, as well as of the whole economy through growth in investment activities, in excessively crowded areas, via broader access to and penetration of new markets, thanks to facilitating co-operation in production, especially in high-tech sectors, improving logistic systems and enhancing quality of goods and services. Financing activities with money from structural funds is becoming more and more popular. Motor Transport Institute is active in applications. Experience gained while planning, managing and monitoring works co-financed by the EU budget has a real-life, measurable value. If we think how to improve competitiveness of our unit, then the very investment in modernity and personnel seems to be an action allowing looking optimistically into the future. The ability of effectively using structural funds should guarantee long-term, high level functioning of the unit.
