In Poland there is a discussion how to spent funds granted by the EU. It focuses on the question whether the methods of spending funds should be decided by the local government (the head of the local government), or controlled - and to what extent - by the voievode appointed by the central government. If we want to avoid problems in near future, we should set up a mechanism for invalidating strategies and programs non-compliant with the EU policy and held officers of governmental bodies and local governments accountable for decisions breaching EU law. The establishment of an independent Strategic Centre for Poland’s Development to create long-term development strategies would be necessary.
