Financing

The Project „Improvement of water and wastewater management in Wrocław Stage III” co-financed from the Cohesion Fund under the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment.

Some words about… the Cohesion Fund

The Cohesion Fund was established on the basis of the Maastricht Treaty on European Union in 1991, which came in force in 1993. The Cohesion Fund was created to reduce the gap in the level of economic and social development of the countries and regions of the European Union. The underlying aim of the Fund is to strengthen economic and social cohesion within the European Union by funding large projects forming a coherent whole in the field of environmental protection and transport infrastructure.

The premise for the performance of the Cohesion Fund projects in the environment sector is adapting the existing facilities to the European standards, as well as the construction of new elements improving the natural environment.
The premise implementation of Cohesion Fund projects in the environment sector is to adapt existing facilities to European standards, as well as the construction of new elements conducive to improving the natural environment. In addition, after the Polish accession to the EU in 2004 as part of the FS is continued implementation of projects financed from the pre-accession fund ISPA

Some words about …the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment
