Coronavirus response: EU funds help better equip emergency healthcare services, save jobs and businesses in Poland
The Commission has approved the modification of the Operational Programme for Pomorskie region in Poland with a total of €60 million being reallocated as a response to the coronavirus pandemic. Cohesion and Reforms Commissioner Elisa Ferreira said: “This decision will benefit medical personnel, employees and businesses in the region. Pomorskie joins a growing number of EU regions that are making good use of the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative to recover from the crisis.”
Nearly €22.2m have been redirected to support diagnosis and treatment of coronavirus patients, including purchase of necessary personal and medical equipment. Another €20.3m are providing liquidity for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises that were affected by the negative consequences of the lockdown. Finally, €6.7m are being reallocated to entrepreneurs and employees at risk of losing their employment and to better the working conditions, especially for those working in long-term care facilities.
These modifications are possible thanks to the exceptional flexibility under the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative (CRII) and Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative Plus (CRII+) which allow member states to use Cohesion policy funding to support the most affected sectors by the pandemic.
