The Regional Development Fund for the region of Pomerania in Poland, the "Activity of Regional Operational Programme for Pomorskie Voivodship", includes EU support from the years 2007 to 2013 and has about 1.3 billion Euros in total available. The EU support by the EFRE amounts to 885 million Euros.
Intention of the EU investment.

Its strategic goal is to strengthen the power to compete, the social solidarity and the integration of this region. Additionally, the realisation of its unique economic and cultural potential will be boosted along with ensuring ecologic sustainability while using natural resources. The gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to rise by 3.4% and more than 7000 new jobs shall be created.
Beach cleaning for attractive tourism.
A key aspect of the programme is to make the local attractions even more appealing for tourists. Professionally cleaned beaches definitely help accomplish that goal. This is how the company "Czysta Plaza" applied for the support and immediately got approval.
