摘要：During 2007‐2013, the European Union countries decided to consecrate a considerable part of their joint efforts and the EU budget for a higher economic growth and for creating jobs. The sustainable development has become one of the Union’s main priorities. The European Union economy had to be more competitive and less prosperous regions had to make up for the gap towards the other regions. This paper aims to provide insights in the European integration and absorption of the European funds. The paper proposes an analysis of the financial framework by means of data and statistics provided by the European institutions, national and international statistics institutions.
