The Cohesion Fund aims to reduce disparities in the level of development currently existing in the case of the poorest member states of the Community. This special solidarity fund was set up in 1993 to help improve the situation of the four poorest member states, namely, Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain. It is possible to implement major transport and environmental project by using funding granted by the Cohesion Fund.
Regulations on the Cohesion Fund: Council Regulation (EC) No. 1164/1994 establishing a Cohesion Fund, amended by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1264/1999 and 1265/1999, as well as Commission Regulations connecting to these; national legislation: Government Decree No. 1/2004 (I. 5.) and 360/2004 (XII.26.), as well as connecting Ministry Decrees (Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1386/2002, etc.)
The task of the Cohesion Fund pertains to financing major developments in the area of environmental protection and transport. The Cohesion Fund Framework Strategy defines the place and target system of the developments within the scope of Hungarian environmental protection policy.
