The Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism


Pursuant to the provisions of art. 128 of the European Economic Area Treaty, new member countries of the European Union join, upon submitting a relevant application, the European Economic Area (EEA). A relevant agreement was signed by the Polish government on 14 October 2003.

One of the elements the aforementioned agreement provides for is the award, for Poland and for other new EU members, of financial resources under the so-called EEA Financial Mechanism and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism. The resources are donated by three EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries – Norway, Island and Liechtenstein, which form, along with the European Union, the European Economic Area. In exchange for taking advantage of the common market freedoms, the said countries undertook to provide financial assistance to the least affluent members of the European Union.

In order to make the resources available, Poland signed, with the donor countries, agreements in the form of Memoranda of Understanding – the Memorandum of Understanding on the implementation of the Norwegian Financial Mechanism was executed on 14 October 2004, while the Memorandum of Understanding on the implementation of the EEA Financial Mechanism on 28 October 2004.
