"I voted against. The outermost regions recognised by the Treaty are overseas territories of three Member States: France, Spain and Portugal. This is not, therefore, an area which directly concerns the whole Union. So I do not think it has become necessary to accord these regions a privileged status in relation to the many other regions of continental Europe which have a much lower economic status.
One does not have to be an expert in economics to see a difference in the economic potential of the Canary Islands and the Polish region of Mazowsze. In relation to this, the proposal to strengthen agricultural support measures, which will lead to a rise in expenditure under the first pillar, is, to say the least, highly inappropriate. I do not agree with the proposal to open a special budget line for these regions in the next programming period.
I am definitely against using the provisions of the Treaties on outermost regions because I support equal and solidarity-based treatment of all regions with lower GDP and think we should ensure they benefit from fairer implementation of cohesion policy."@en1
