"I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on his report. Macro-regional strategies help to promote cooperation, enhance synergies with major Community policies and create real European added value. They must be based on the principle of multilevel governance, in order to safeguard cooperation between local, regional and national authorities. Establishing a macro-regional strategy in the Mediterranean could help the participating states to address specific problems caused by the characteristics of certain areas, such as drought, maritime pollution and the development of tourism. As far as the islands are concerned, the European Commission should apply a strategic plan to address the structural weaknesses of island territories and make island territories equally competitive with mainland territories, so as to reduce the gap between different levels of development among European regions and ensure their effective integration in the single market. This could best be ensured through the allocation of appropriate resources and the adoption of an integrated approach in the fields of transport and energy. It is also to be hoped that the Commission will take a positive stand when considering State aid, which constitutes legal compensation with respect to the handicaps of insularity."@en1
