".
I wish to congratulate Mr Lipietz on the excellent report he has drawn up on the Commission’s 31st Report on Competition Policy 2001, which I fully support, particularly with regard to ensuring constant and rigorous monitoring to prevent serious distortions of competition and with regard to the need to create a specialist body, at judicial level, in the field of competition and State aid, so that cases in this field can be dealt with quickly.
I should like, however, to emphasise that although I broadly agree with the rapporteur’s support for the Commission’s commitment to reducing State aid in the Community, there are still European regions, specifically the outermost regions, in which State aid is a vital measure for supporting their economic and social development. This has been expressly acknowledged in Article 299(2) of the Treaty of Amsterdam. In these specific cases, we must continue to see a degree of flexibility in the granting and authorisation of aid which make a justified and effective contribution to the development of these unique territories and economies."@en1
