The cohesion policy of the European Union still consumes the second greatest part of the common funds, yet it is deeply rooted in the tradition equity-oriented approach and thus is not able to achieve its goals. The discussion of the evolution of this policy is of paramount importance for Poland, since our regional policy still follows the old (and obsolete) paradigms. Professor Grzegorz Gorzelak, Director of the Centre for European Regional and Local Studies (EUROREG) at the Warsaw University, speaks on these issues at the TIGER seminar on "Cohesion policy of the European Union - from enthusiasm through doubts to criticism". You are welcome to join the debate!

In 1989 this date - April 5th - had been written into the history, and not only of Poland.  At that time - exactly 17 years ago - the agreement of two months lasting negotiations of the Polish Round Table had been signed. The event has led our entire region of the world toward the postsocialist transformation. What had brought the Round Table negotiations? What caused the collapse - or was it overthrown? - the previous system of the socialist centrally planned economy? What kind of expectation were there in Poland and other countries of the region in 1989 and what we were able to accomplish during the last 17 years? What major policy mistakes have been committed and why it did happen? Who are the losers and who are the gainers? What conclusions should be drawn from these experiences thus far and what we may expect and must be concerned for in the perspective of the next 17 years, until 2023? These are just some of the crucial questions for which we tried to answer during the special public lecture and seminar entitled "The Un-round Anniversary of the Round Table", presented by Professor Grzegorz W. Kolodko, who had participated in the debate of the Round Table and later twice have served as Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance of Poland.
