"Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union states that ‘the Council, on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, shall adopt specific measures aimed, in particular, at laying down the conditions of application of the Treaties to those regions, including common policies’. This constitutes provision for the special status of what are known as the outermost regions, whose geography – isolation, difficult terrain and climate, and insularity – means they comprise a specific group. This report analyses what the role of European Union cohesion policy should be in the outermost regions, in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy; that is, how these regions will be able to meet the established objectives of ‘smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’. I voted for this report, since I agree with the priorities mentioned by the rapporteur: positive discrimination towards these regions and development strategies geared towards increased competitiveness, more growth and higher employment; particular attention for specific areas like fishing, agriculture, renewable energies, information technologies, tourism, etc.; and emphasis on these regions in the context of the European Neighbourhood Policy, fostering their relationships with third countries through more effective governance and increased integration with the EU."@en1
