I decided to describe Operational Programme Industry and Enterprise 2004--2006 as the basic document for the policy of economic and social cohesion (ESC) in the Czech productive and business sector. Operational Programme Industry and Enterprise elaborated a specific part of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2004 -- 2006 aimed at the economic development.

This graduation thesis focuses on regional and structural policy of European Union and its utilization in Czech Republic. The thesis explains the impact of integration theories on the different stages of development of regional policy in its present form and gives a comprehensive view on the issue of raising financial support from European Union. It also explains where the money for these grants comes and how Czech Republic stands in acquiring them. At the end thesis brings an example of a company that became a successful recipient of funding from EU. First part of graduation thesis is focused on the theoretical evolution of European integration and the related evolution of regional policy of EU. The evolution of regional policy is monitored especially in Czech republic, where the thesis describes single budget periods of EU and the volume of money gained from grants and money spent on them.

The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyse European policy of economic and social cohesion in the southern states of the European Union. The import of regional policy consists in the strengthening of cohesion through the diminution of existing differences in socioeconomic level between EU member states and theirs regions. Significantly high budget item assigned to the regional policy on the European level affirms its importance. States of the southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece) gained long-standing experience in the implementation of the cohesion policy, therefore they are suitable for the evaluation of the effectiveness. The thesis seeks to deliver potential recommendations for the effectiveness improvement on the national as well as on the European level.

This thesis is focused on financial side of grant projects which are supported by the Human Resources and Employment Operational Programme. This Operational Programme draws financial resources from European Social Fund. In the Czech Republic the administration of all the projects in question is coordinated by Managing Authority which is Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Intermediate Body is in the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic. The text describes the eligible expenses, the process payment transactions and the control system. In the conclusion the thesis summarizes current problems of drawing resources from the Structural Funds. These funds have been quite unknown and stil in the process of the improvement in our country. To eliminate many deficiencies in realization there have been organised many specialized workshops and seminars for beneficiaries and at the same time from the Managing Authority have been specified the methodical instructions.

This thesis is focused on the subsidies that flow to the Czech Republic from the EU budget. The text describes the mechanism by which funds from the EU budget financial resources go to the Czech Republic. In my thesis I also bring an overview of funds and operational programmes that can be used for project financing in a current programming period. The key issue is reporting (monitoring - according to the terminology used in the field of EU funds). The second issue is assurance or audit. Since the entire area of subsidies is constantly evolving (and in the case of the Czech republic it is a relatively "new matter"), there is still a big number of training workshops and information that would support quality and "correct" management of these resources. These activities will support the recipients in completing of monitoring reports.

My thesis titled "Microeconomic Impact of Structural Funds in the Nonprofit Sector" focuses on the analysis of the impact of EU funds on the capacities of Czech NGOs. I dealt with the situation of public benefit companies. I have measured the impact on capacity through economic indicators derived from financial statements of organizations which are the total revenues, total staff costs, profit and total debt. Results of the analysis has been achieved by comparison of supported and unsupported organizations for the period 2006-2011 using selected methods of counterfactual impact evaluation as the difference-in-difference method and matching method. Using these methods I have been able to find a positive effect of EU Structural funds on the capacities of Czech non-profit organizations.
