"I voted for the report on the role of the cohesion policy in the outermost regions of the European Union in the context of the EU 2020 strategy. I think that Member States need help to secure full access for the inhabitants of these regions to the information sources and communication media provided by new technologies, such as broadband technologies and infrastructure and wireless technologies, including satellite, so as to promote economic growth and more efficient administration through the digitisation of services. I call on the Commission and Member States to take the necessary measures to ensure that all the inhabitants of the outermost regions have access to broadband Internet by 2013. The areas of research and innovation, transport, telecommunications and tourism require particular attention in terms of applying European policies in the outermost regions. The Connecting Europe Facility should include specific references to the outermost regions. I should emphasise the importance of integrating the outermost regions into the TEN-T network. It is important to support SMEs by allocating funds from the EU and Member States, with the aim of developing the production structures in the outermost regions and promoting workers’ skills, thereby helping to enhance region-specific products and the local economy."@en1
