“…In this context, there is a need to study the experience of "combined" projects based on public-private partnership and grant funding. A "combined" project is a project that is implemented under a PPPs agreement and that combines state and private funding, where part of the state funding is provided directly in the form of a grant from the EU Structural Funds or other international organizations (Using EU Funds in PPPs 2011; EU Funds in PPPs 2012;Hybrid PPPs 2006;Goldsmith 2008;Geest 2011). Rebuilding destroyed infrastructure, people's homes and businesses is quite a challenge during wartime.…”

The post-war reconstruction of the energy sector of Ukraine is a critical issue that requires significant investment in both infrastructure and modernization. However, the limited financing of the public sector is a problem that needs to be addressed. A combination of European Union (EU) grant funding and private funding through public-private partnerships (PPPs) has been suggested as a potential solution to this problem. The relevance of this topic lies in the potential of PPPs to attract resources and experience from both the public and private sectors. This can lead to a more efficient use of resources and can help solve the problems associated with limited public sector funding. In addition, PPPs can provide a framework for sharing risks between the public and private sectors and can help mobilize private sector resources and expertise, which can be critical in post-war recon-struction efforts. In addition, a combination of EU grant funding and private funding through PPPs can contribute to broader economic development by promoting investment in the energy sector. This can help stimulate economic growth, create jobs and improve energy security, which is critical for the long-term sustainability of Ukraine's energy sector. Thus, the topic of combined models of uniting EU grant funding and private funding based on public-private partnership for the post-war reconstruction of the energy sector of Ukraine is extremely relevant for solving problems related to limited public sector funding, attracting resources and experience from both public and private sectors as well as promoting the broader economic development of Ukraine.

“…Such an option has been successfully exploited by several EU countries, for instance in Portugal (Vasco de Gama Bridge) or Greece (Athens airport) and can constitute an important means to increase the absorption of EU funds. Several different PPP-grant blending models have been designed, with the advantage of increasing affordability by keeping user charges or unitary payments from the public authority at a low level (Goldsmith, 2008). However, enhanced public-sector capacity is needed for the implementation of such projects, all the more because under the latest EU legal framework, which recognises and encourages the potential role of PPPs, certain regulations are complex to interpret.…”

The Challenge of Rapidly Improving Transport Infrastructure in Poland

Following many years of underinvestment, renovating and building new transport infrastructure is an important policy priority that would increase labour mobility and improve Poland’s competitiveness. This goal is all the more feasible given that the country is going to benefit from substantial EU structural and cohesion funds over the programming period 2007-13. On top of the limited timeframe for the absorption of EU funds, the European soccer championship that Poland is going to co-host with Ukraine in 2012 imposes an additional time constraint on many investment projects. The country is heavily reliant on road transport but is lacking an efficient high-speed road network. It needs important renovation investments both in the rolling stock and infrastructure network of the railway sector. It also faces the challenges of revitalising maritime transport as well as extending and upgrading airport facilities to cope with the fastest growing air market in Europe. However, many obstacles remain and hinder the implementation of investment plans and thus need to be resolved rapidly. From the macroeconomic perspective, these are related to rising prices of scarce labour and intermediate inputs, while from the microeconomic standpoint the main difficulties lie in the area of the regulatory framework underlying the provision of physical infrastructure. Le défi d'une amélioration rapide des infrastructures de transport en Pologne Après des années de sous-investissement, la rénovation des infrastructures de transport existantes et la construction d’infrastructures nouvelles représentent une importante priorité d’action en vue d’accroître la mobilité de la main-d’oeuvre et d’améliorer la compétitivité de la Pologne. Cet objectif est d’autant plus réalisable que le pays va bénéficier d’un volume substantiel de fonds structurels et de fonds de cohésion de l’UE au cours de la période de programmation 2007-13. Outre que l’utilisation des fonds européens est soumise à un calendrier restreint, le championnat d’Europe de football que la Pologne organisera conjointement avec l’Ukraine en 2012 impose une contrainte temporaire supplémentaire sur de nombreux projets d’investissement. Lourdement tributaire du transport routier, la Pologne est dépourvue d’un réseau autoroutier efficace. Dans le secteur ferroviaire, le matériel roulant comme le réseau d’infrastructure nécessitent d’importants investissements de rénovation. De surcroît, il faut revitaliser les transports maritimes mais aussi agrandir et moderniser les installations aéroportuaires afin de faire face à une croissance du marché des transports aériens sans équivalent en Europe. Cependant, de nombreux obstacles subsistent et entravent la mise en oeuvre des plans d’investissement ; il faut donc y porter remède sans tarder. Sur un plan macroéconomique, ces freins résident dans la hausse des prix de ressources limitées en main-d’oeuvre et en intrants intermédiaires, tandis que d’un point de vue microéconomique, les principales difficultés tiennent au cadre réglementaire qui sous-t...

The article provides an analytical review of "combined" projects based on public-private partnership and grant funding from the European Union. Projects combining public-private partnership with EU funds are subject to both PPP rules and principles for European funds. In Ukraine, where access to funding sources is extremely limited, it is the grant support of international organizations and partner countries that is crucial for financing various projects related to the reconstruction and restoration of Ukraine. Institutional support for the development of public-private partnership by international organizations is considered. Schemes of combining EU grant funding and private investment based on PPPs are presented. "Combined" models of combining EU grant funding and private funding based on public-private partnership in Ukraine are proposed, which will contribute to the restoration of infrastructure destroyed during the war, investment attraction, creation of new jobs, etc.
