". The Treaty of Amsterdam incorporated a legal base (Article 299(2)) recognising the need for the EU to give the outermost regions special treatment in accordance with their unique and specific reality. This was now a ‘legal-constitutional’ recognition and no longer, as was the case until Amsterdam, a ‘de facto’ recognition, done through declarations annexed to the Treaties or instruments such as Poseima, symptomatically called the Programme of Options Specific to the Remote and Insular Nature of Madeira and the Azores. I therefore give my full support to Parliament’s favourable opinion on a set of measures that we have just debated, presented by the European Commission, which aims to put into practice the outermost region principle. A special mention, finally, for the proposed revision of Poseima. This is a programme that has proved highly significant in that it has guaranteed the application of important aspects of the common agricultural policy to Madeira and the Azores in a manner suited to the specific conditions of agriculture in these regions. Poseima has thus made a significant contribution to the maintenance of our agriculture. Poseima has also been crucial in that it includes specific measures aimed at cutting supply overheads, particularly in terms of transport, for foodstuffs for consumption or industrial processing. The proposed revision of Poseima with the changes recommended by Parliament is highly positive. New instruments are introduced and current ones are modified in the light of the experience acquired. I hope the Commission will accept the changes proposed by Parliament."@en1
