Abstract:
During the programming period 2014-2020, the European Commission is seeking to extend its financial instruments in providing support from the European structural and investment funds. Also the Partnership Agreement between the Czech Republic and the European Commission declares the effort to use financial instruments in some operational programmes for financing viable projects. Since 2016, grant calls have been announced, yet the declared effort to distribute a significant proportion of aid with the use of financial instruments has not yet been fulfilled. The aim of the author is to evaluate the state of preparation for the use of financial instruments in those operational programmes where the use of the financial instruments has been planned since the beginning of this programming period.
