Considered Options of Support to Physical Planning Activities from EU Funds in the 2007–2013 Programming Period, by Filip Novosád, Anna Lauermannová
In the new 2007 to 2013 programming period, the EU funds will become applicable to support physical planning and related activities. Such financial support is anchored in several operational programmes. Our article contains a diagram illustratively defining the scope of such support, the programmes it can be drawn from, and the available forms, also explaining who can apply and where applicants should appeal. The funds will especially be applicable for the elaboration of master plans, spatial studies, analytic surveys, and for the support of the European territorial cooperation and the systemic use of GIS. The recipients of the support should mainly be the Municipalities (including the departments of physical planning) and Regions, as well as non-profit associations and scientific institutions. The terms and conditions of the use of financial support will be specified in the operational programmes and manuals. Generally, first invitations are to be expected in the first half of 2008.

The Portugese presidency in the Council of the European Union has continued these efforts with the First Action Programme for the Implementation of the Territorial Agenda of the EU, determining specific actions through which the objectives of the 2007–2011 Territorial Agenda can be more easily accomplished. This new document was adopted during an informal ministerial meeting in Ponta Delgada, on 23 November 2007.

Nová role „příhraničních“ center ve „sjednocené“ střední Evropě | Milan Körner
New Role of “Border Centres” in the Unified Central Europe, by Milan Körner
The full opening of frontiers, resulting from the entry of the Czech Republic and other new member states of the EU into the Schengen area, creates conditions for a gradual improvement of the settlement structures in border territories. Besides the resumption of the joint development of temporarily divided towns, there are various changes in the settlement hierarchy to be expected, especially those leading towards a wider regional scope of some centres. Apart from the divided towns, this refers to cities making up larger urban formations or those situated close to each other, with important potential for cooperation. However, this will not be a rapid process, due to various legislative, economic, and linguistic barriers.
