It attempts to analyse the evolution of ERDF programmes in Brussels from 2000 to 2013 and takes a critical look at the so-called “regional policy” in this area. The latter is having a hard time getting through the institutional barriers and is characterised by strong inequalities between stakeholders – during the elaboration of programmes as well as in the implementation of projects – despite approaches based on partnership and integration which characterise the European Funds. By taking the European Funds in Brussels as an example, this article examines the logic of “concrete public action”, between strategic policy and incremental process, and between formal procedures and the concrete practices of stakeholders. Le présent article s’intéresse à la façon dont la Région bruxelloise utilise les Fonds structurels européens - le Fonds européen de développement régional (FEDER) en particulier - en vue de concrétiser plusieurs projets économiques et sociaux sur son territoire. Il s’attache à analyser l’évolution des programmes FEDER à Bruxelles de 2000 à 2013 et pose un regard critique sur la supposée « ligne de conduite régionale » en la matière. Celle-ci peine à franchir les barrières institutionnelles et se caractérise par de fortes inégalités entre acteurs – tant lors de l’élaboration des programmes que dans la mise en œuvre des projets – malgré les logiques partenariales et d’intégration qui caractérisent les Fonds européens. Par l’exemple de ces Fonds européens à Bruxelles, cet article rend compte des logiques de « l’action publique au concret », entre politique stratégique et processus incrémental, entre procédures formelles et pratiques concrètes des acteurs. Het voorliggende artikel bestudeert de manier waarop het Brussels Gewest de Europese Structuurfondsen – het Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling (EFRO) in het bijzonder – gebruikt om verschillende economische en sociale projecten op haar grondgebied te concretiseren. Het analyseert de evolutie van de EFRO-programma’s in Brussel van 2000 tot 2013 en poneert een kritische blik op de zogezegde “regionale richtlijn” op dat vlak. Die heeft het zwaar om de institutionele barrières te doorbreken en wordt gekarakteriseerd door sterke ongelijkheden tussen actoren – zowel tijdens de ontwikkeling van de programma’s en als tijdens de toepassing ervan – ondanks het belang dat door de Europese fondsen gehecht wordt aan partnerschap en integratie. Aan de hand van het voorbeeld van de Europese fondsen in Brussel, brengt dit artikel verslag van de gedachtegang van “de publieke actie in de praktijk”, tussen strategisch beleid en voortschrijdend proces, tussen formele procedures en concrete praktijken van de actoren.
