Strukturální fondy EU a jejich využití v rámci obce Rudná pod Pradědem

Abstract

In my thesis, which deals with the topic of the EU Structural Funds and their use in the Rudná pod Pradědem municipality I have tried my best to cover the issue of structural funds, and at the same time to present an example of a small village from district of Bruntál. The entire first chapter is devoted to the topic of structural policy and structural funds, especially in connection with the Czech Republic, as a recipient of EU funds. In addition to introducing the principle of the structural policy you can also find in this charter the information about the cohesion regions of the Czech Republic or about the basic conditions for drawing funds from the Structural Funds. The main attention is paid to the three periods, however, which the Czech Republic in terms of structural policy passed from 1995 until now. The following chapter is focused specifically on municipality Rudna pod Pradědem and projects that were implemented within this municipality thanks to the grants from the Structural Funds. Shortly there is also introduced the cohesion region Moravskoslezsko and Bruntál district where the municipality Rudná pod Pradědem is situated. In connection with the drawing of EU funds, this section contains the grant application procedure and the subsequent implementation of the project. Opening of the last chapter describes the evaluation of the use of funds derived from individual Structural Funds - European Regional Development Fund , European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund - at the level of Czech towns and villages. The next section includes the views from the perspective of future development of cohesion policy. Also part of it deals with the municipality Rudná pod Pradědem, and its current or future projects.
