1.2 PLACE OF THE STRATEGY IN THE ORDER OF STRATEGIO DOCUMENTS

Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in December 2009, the question of the territorial dimension became particularly important in the EU cohesion policy. The consequence of this is adaptation of the intervention to a greater extent to the needs of different types of territories, which is also implemented through the SDWP.

The SDWP, as a document of supra-regional naturę, is compatible with the development objective of EU and national strategie documents. Basic conditions of the EU, which are the reference point for the development of all policies of the European Union (EU), including the cohesion policy, are set in the document Europę 2020. A European strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth (Europę 2020 Strategy) of June 2010, which defines three priorities of EU development: smart growth, sustainable growth and inclusive growth¹¹¹.

The directions of intervention provided in the SDWP are consistent with the approach promoted by the European Commission underthe Europę 2020 Strategy, in particular in the framework of the first priority and the flagship initiative lnnovation Union, which involves inerease in innovation and competitiveness.

The national system of development programming, anchored in the law on principles of development policy, the SDWP was placed between the national level of intervention set out in the long-term and medium-term government strategie documents and the intervention level prescribed at the regional level - resulting from the voivodeship development strategies and other strategie documents drawn up at this level¹²⁾. This arrangement stems from the assumption that defining supra-regional development potentials and their effective stimulation through interregional cooperation brings additional developmental effeets.

Objectives and intervention directions defined in the SDWP are part of the strategie model of national development proposed in the Long-term National Development Strategy. Poland 2030. Third Wave of Modernity (LNDS) of 5 February 2013¹³⁾, adopted by the Council of Ministers, which is based on three pillars: building the foundation for the innovation of the country, the territorial balancing of development and intergenerational solidarity. Due to the macro-regional specifics, reflected in the socio-economic and spatial structure, the deveiopment processes ^1,1 COM(2010)2020.
