Report ‘The role of national bodies with a human rights remit in ensuring fundamental rights compliance of EU funds’
Date:
Experts from the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights examined the state of application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights by Polish public authorities, as well as a number of promising practices of national institutions related to the protection of human rights in this area. The research provides a basis for taking measures to improve the state of application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights by Polish public authorities, in particular bodies involved in the implementation of European funds.
The Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights has also developed a baseline report ‘The role of national bodies with a human rights remit in ensuring fundamental rights compliance of EU funds’, which aims to present the role of national human rights bodies in ensuring compliance with fundamental rights during the implementation of EU funds in Poland. In particular, the report provides an overview of the process of implementation of EU funds in Poland. It describes how EU funds operate in Poland and explains the challenges and opportunities for the protection of fundamental rights involved in the process. The report also introduces the national human rights bodies that play a role in ensuring the compliance with EU funds.
The report has been prepared as part of the project ‘Supporting National Human Rights Institutions in Monitoring Fundamental Rights and Related Aspects of the Rule of Law’ implemented by the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights and the other beneficiaries of the project with the lead partner, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), funded by the EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Regional Cooperation. The project aims to strengthen the role of national human rights bodies in the promotion and protection of fundamental rights and the rule of law in selected grantee countries by providing them with advice and institutional support and enhancing their capacity in EU law, with a particular focus on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
