lpv:translated text	". Article 299(2) of the Treaties states that, taking account of the structural, social and economic situation of the Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands and the French overseas departments, specific measures to support these regions should be adopted. These regions are characterised by permanent structural disadvantages which set them apart from the other regions of EU Member States. These structural disadvantages are compounded by their remoteness, their insularity, their small size, their difficult topography and climate and by their dependence on a few products, the permanence and combination of which severely restrain their development. This is referred to in the Treaties, and for this reason, the specific characteristics of the outermost regions must be mainstreamed across all Community policies, bearing in mind their development needs and the need for effective implementation of economic and social cohesion, a principle that is also enshrined in the Treaties. Furthermore, a specific Community programme to support these regions, bringing together all of the dispersed measures should be set up, which must be granted adequate financial resources within the framework of the financial perspective for 2007-2013. This will contribute significantly towards solving the regions’ problems. Many of the characteristics and needs of these regions and their populations can and should be addressed. Of these, I wish to highlight the need to ensure the sustainability of fish stocks and the activities of fishing communities in these regions. To this end, it is essential that exclusive control of access to their waters, pursuant to the relevant national jurisdiction, should coincide with its exclusive economic zone. We must consider implementing a range of permanent support measures in the area of the environment, given that most of the territory of these regions is made up of nature reserves and other protected areas. Lastly, we should support measures to support training in traditional handcrafts, local production and tourism."@en1
