  • Institutional regulation and the effectiveness of absorbing EU funds : the experiences of Ireland, Estonia and Slovenia
    Markovič-Hribernik, Tanja ; Kirbiš, Monika ; Vek, Uroš
    The enlargement of the EU by ten new member states in 2004 increased the importance of the EU cohesion policy; however, the readiness of these states to absorb the funds has not been adequate. ... Consequently, their absorption capacity has been relatively low. Although Slovenia is one of the most efficient states with regard to the absorption of the EU funds, it can still strive to increase its absorption capacity. An analysis was made, therefore, which states the importance of institutional settings for the efficiency of absorbing funds. With this purpose in mind, we first closely examined the most successful countries in absorbing EU funds. These were: Ireland as the leading country among the EU-15 and Estonia and Slovenia as the leading countries among the EU-10. Regarding administration and implementation systems of Structural and Cohesion Fund in Ireland, Estonia and Slovenia, we confirmed the diversity among examining countries. Ireland has a decentralized managing systems with several managing authorities and paying authorities, also on the regional level, while Estonia and Slovenia have a more centralized system on a national level. Regarding the current implementation system and absorption success in these three countries, we can not determine which of the three presented implementation structures is more effective and advisable for improving the absorption of EU funds. We came to the conclusion that even different implementation structures can lead to high absorption results.
