"This report – by my Madeiran colleague, Mr Teixeira, whom I would congratulate on his excellent work – is of the utmost importance because it constitutes the first specific pronouncement during this session of the European Parliament on the outermost regions, and because it is designed to influence the communication on the outermost regions that the European Commission should be publishing in May as the commitment to these regions by this College of Commissioners.
I therefore worked hard on the final draft of this report, cooperating closely with the rapporteur and the Azores branch of the Portuguese Social Democratic Party (PSD) on including proposals that meet the specific needs of the Azores; in particular, a future POSEI transport programme and extending the archipelago’s exclusive economic zone. These two issues have been safeguarded, although I fought for a more decisive wording as regards the POSEI transport programme.
However, as regards restricting access to areas identified as biogeographically sensitive so that only local fleets are allowed there, the adopted text paves the way for strengthening the Azores’ demands for an exclusive fishing area beyond the present 100 nautical miles. I voted for this report for all these reasons."@en1
