2Informal Dialogue with the European Commission Regional disparities March 20, 2013, Prague

regional disparities among regions are significant –in terms of unemployment rate and economic development dynamics –significant and increasing regional disparities inside individual regions –tendencies for creating poles of growth (in economic centres) forming of regional centres rather than regional axes –weak and problem areas emerged – “inner peripheries” (economically weak areas inside well prospering regions, alongside regional borders) –a successful (favorable) regional development of metropolitan areas can conceal some problems in specific areas at lower level (when assessing regional level) deepening of regional disparities at subregional level regions with concentrated state support –economically weak regions and regions with high unemployment rate lagging behind regional average (as to economic development) 3Informal Dialogue with the European Commission Regional disparities March 20, 2013, Prague

a)by defining axis, priorities/actions where territorial principle (based on typology) will be applied (i. e. actions mainly in selected types of regions) b)by defining axis, priorities/actions where territorial principle will partly be applied – percentage ratio for selected types of regions to all territorial scope c)by setting contribution to integrated principle – define tools (instruments) and mechanisms that secure coordination among ESIF + determine financial allocation of OP/priority axis… (specific calls for proposal focused on projects within integrated strategies d)by defining different types of territory (protected landscape areas) and modification of evaluative (assessment) criteria and types of criteria e)by representation of regional partners within coordination role, main target groups or beneficiaries 18Informal Dialogue with the European Commission Thematic principle March 20, 2013, Prague
