lpv:spoken text	"The overseas countries and territories (OCTs) are a significant asset for Europe in their capacity as strategic outposts promoting European standards and values. They can help the European Union to play the role to which it aspires at international level. Situated as they are in the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, the Atlantic or the Pacific they are directly confronted with the new challenges which Europe itself must face, including the globalisation of trade and new environmental threats and risks in relation to climate change. The OCTs need to be sustainably developed. Given their natural assets and the opportunities for action they provide, the OCTs could form a crucial component of the European Union’s strategies and make an important and innovative contribution to international negotiations. The current Overseas Association Decision (OAD), which was adopted in 2001, establishes the legal framework for EU support for the OCTs’ social and economic development and for their economic relations with the EU. The decision is due to expire on 31 December 2013. The process of revising the OAD for the 2014-2020 period was launched in 2008 with a public consultation on the Green Paper on Future relations between the EU and the overseas countries. Renewal of the association arrangements is vital for the OCTs."@en1
