- 4-6 per cent of GDP investment in environment and infrastructure
Administrative and project implementation capacity broadly inadequate to task
- lack of experience at regional – municipal level hampers absorption of EU funds.

Internal EU governance has changed post-enlargement: need to adjust to new organisation/financial procedures
