"I voted in favour of the report on outermost regions (ORs), which has adopted many of my proposals. On my initiative, Parliament calls on the European Commission to fight against the high cost of living in French overseas departments, and draws the attention of the European Commission to the monopolies, abuse of dominant positions and cartel offences which have the unfair consequence of high living costs. Parliament therefore calls for a study on pricing in the ORs. Another of my amendments has led to Parliament denouncing the reluctance shown by the European Commission to take into account the specific characteristics of the ORs when negotiating Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), and urges the Commission to continue to seek compromises that respect the interests of the ORs concerned when it comes to EPAs. The almost unanimous adoption by the European Parliament of this own-initiative report on the ORs is good news, but in no way does it remove the threats that exist to reduce the amount of Structural Funds allocated to ORs and to the poorest European regions, and Member States are still calling for the European budget to be revised downwards for 2014-2020."@en1
