Lietuva 2004 metais tapo ES nare ir nuo to laiko mažinti regioninius skirtumus ir vystyti ekonomikai gauna paramą iš ES struktūrinių fondų. Šiuo metu fondo lėšos skirstomos pagal 2007-2013 metų patvirtintą paramos planą. Šiame darbe buvo analizuojama ar ES parama skirta įvairiems projektams turi įtakos Lietuvos regionų socialinei ir ekonominei plėtrai. Atlikti palyginamieji makroekonominių rodiklių tyrimai parodė, kad skirtumai tarp regionų nesumažėjo. / In 2004 year Lithuania became a member of Europe uninion and began to get support from EU foundations. The main EU foundations goal is to decrease the differences of regions in economical and social aspects. The problem is that it is very hard to decide and to check if this support in real helps to decrease the difference of regions, maybe it has no influence or even has the adverse influence. In my paper work I tried to find out the EU foundations influence for decreasing social and econimical differences between Lithuanian‘ regions. The results are so that Lithuanian government consist with a lot of problems regarding EU foundations, it has confirmed region policy, but there is not fully checked if the support is really used for projects which can help to decreased the social and economical differences between Lithuanian regions. Besides there are more and more research made which shows that if the country do not have strong control of how is making its regional policy, the use of ES foundatios suport can make huge adverse influence for long period.

Approaching towards the global information society, the development of information technologies in the Lithuanian regions in which there is a high level of digital divide becomes very topical. To develop the topic of the paper, the analysis of literary sources, legal documents, projects under implementation was carried out and qualitative questionnaire of experts was done. Having analysed the e-government situation, factors constructing digital divide, the present policy of the development of information technologies and the projects under implementation, solution models enabling to integrate separate regions successfully were suggested.
