Abstract

An assessment of economic performance at the regional level in selected EU countries shows that while regional disparities in traditional EU member states (Germany, Austria and Portugal) are generally decreasing, those in countries that joined later (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania) are widening. This is especially true of the gaps between the capital cities and other regions of these countries. In this article we also draw attention to the importance of EU regional policy, which has undoubtedly suppressed traditional agglomeration effects.
