Abstract

The article proceeds to the inventory of the main problems with which the absorption related to the operational programs financed by the Cohesion Policy faces, these being proved by the data specific to the absorption. It addresses the problems identified at a systemic level with a descriptive approach to the variables that negatively affect the absorption process. The article thus describes the existence of a range of problems such as the need for co-financing, a difficult access to financing for the less developed counties or the existence of a low and unbalanced level of absorption at the thematic objective level of Cohesion Policy.
