  We investigate the consistency requirements of the next-to leading BFKL
equation with the renormalization group, with particular emphasis on running
coupling effects and NL anomalous dimensions. We show that, despite some model
dependence of the bare hard Pomeron, such consistency holds at leading twist
level, provided the effective variable $\alpha_s(t) log(1/x)$ is not too large.
We give a unified view of resummation formulas for coefficient functions and
anomalous dimensions in the Q_0-scheme and we discuss in detail the new one for
the $q\bar{q}$ contributions to the gluon channel.
