THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT
The European Union Treatry intitutes the economic
and social cohesion principle, whish aims to ensure
an harmonious development of the European Space
by reducing inequalities between different areas and
the underdevelopment of the poorer ones.
Direcção-Geral do Desenvolvimento Regional
Since its accession to E.C., in January 1986, Portugal
has applied, just like the other country members, to
this co-financing instrument which, together with
national and private investments, has become a
decisive support to several development actions that
otherwise would never have been possible.
Previous Regulations – 1986-1988
Community Support Framework I – 1989-1993
Community Support Framework II – 1994-1999
Community Support Framework III – 2000-2006

In order to achieve those goals, 4 structural funds have been created:
ERDF
ESF
EAGGP
FIFG
European Regional Development Fund
European Social Fund
European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund-Guidance
Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance
These are co-financing instruments to which member countries can apply
in order to assist, over multi-annual periods, all national efforts towards
the development and full achievement of the desired cohesion.

Cohesion Policy in Portugal
20 years after Portuguese EU adhesion.
50 billion Euros from Cohesion Policy have been used.
Remarkable achievements have been implemented.
Nevertheless, persistent structural problems affect our
economy, our society and our territory.
These persistent structural difficulties occur in the central
themes of present growth and employment paradigm.
That have territorially differentiated natures and intensities.
