strategies realized by entrepreneurs. In association with the fact that
for the period between 2007 and 2013 Poland has been granted a subsidy to
the amount of approximately 67.3 thousand million Euros, it is vital that this
source of finance is exploited appropriately and with the most effective results
as regards infrastructure, transport, environment conservation and new technologies.

EU funds subsidies granted for the specific purpose of the implementation of
investment projects. Legal regulations and norms regarding, among others,
the strategy for development policymaking and on this very basis the definitions
