"The European Union is one of the richest regions in the world, but there are considerable differences in levels of prosperity between and within the various Member States. The enlargement that took place in 2004 further reinforced this phenomenon. It is no coincidence that almost all the funding from the Cohesion Fund goes to the 12 most recent EU Member States. In addition to these countries, the European Union also has eight outermost regions (ORs), regions that are geographically remote from the European Union but an integral part of the Member States to which they belong. Very often, however, the starting conditions in these regions are well behind those of other European regions. This makes it difficult for them to achieve the objectives of EU programmes. Therefore, the application of European policies needs to include an adjustment for the specific conditions of the outermost regions of the EU, since it is only through a programme that takes their specific characteristics into account that these regions will be able to achieve the objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion and contribute towards the accomplishment of the EU 2020 objectives."@en1
