"I voted in favour of this report because cohesion policy should be aligned with the Europe 2020 strategy and the outermost regions (ORs) are prepared to cooperate in the implementation of the five goals with regard to employment, innovation, education, social inclusion, climate and energy to be achieved by 2020. The ORs rightly have a special status enshrined in the Treaty because there are specific difficulties in these regions associated with their physical and structural circumstances, mostly resulting from their remoteness, insular locations, difficult topography and climate. The starting conditions in the ORs to achieve the cohesion policy objectives are more severe than in some regions and the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy need to be directed towards exploiting their potential and the growth of sectors of excellence. Cohesion policy must remain one of the main instruments of European Union action to reduce disparities in all European regions, particularly ORs, in terms of the internal market and with a view to achieving the EU 2020 goals, because European funds are key instruments for achieving these objectives. They are not just assistance but compensation for the disadvantages of the region. However, we should not forget that this European policy cannot, by itself, resolve all of the difficulties facing the ORs."@en1
