EU funds are the term for all programs funded by the European Union, either in the Member States (Union Programs and instruments of the Cohesion, Agriculture and Fisheries Policies), or outside of them (pre-accession programs, third country programs). Every year, the European Commission assigns 20 billion euros to private organizations, public organizations and associations. These funds are granted through more than 350 programs in the areas of capacity building and institution building (IPA I), cross-border cooperation (IPA II), regional development (IPA III), human resources development (IPA IV), rural development (IPA V) environment, education, urban development, agriculture, health, energy efficiency, transport, employment, research, tourism, innovation, etc. Regional policy is a strategic investment policy, aimed at all regions and cities of the EU, in order to promote their economic growth and improve the quality of life. It is also an expression of solidarity because it supports the less developed regions. Regional inequalities relate to the problems faced not only by all the European countries, but many other countries and which create a large gap between the populations, making certain parts overdeveloped, while some parts are extremely underdeveloped.
