"Mr President, both the opportunities and the challenges that island regions face have to do with the particularities of islands: islands face extremely severe difficulties in relation to transport and fuel prices, which are worsening with the economic crisis, but, at the same time, they also represent convenient territories for the research and development of renewable sources of energy.
Nevertheless, the current European measures for islands do not spring from unified planning, nor are they based on an integrated evaluation of the situation of island regions. Despite the fact that three years have already passed since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, Article 174 of which refers to island regions, we have not yet developed a fully integrated approach to islands. One step in this direction would relate to the adaptation of the energy mix. For example, in a written statement Parliament has since the beginning of the year been calling for support for sustainability in the islands, in order to achieve or exceed the Europe 2020 targets.
Unfortunately, however, to date there has been no corresponding reaction by the Commission."@en1
