"I voted in favour of this report aimed at examining how the EU 2020 objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth can be achieved in the European Union’s outermost regions (ORs). The ORs of the European Union comprise a set of regions which, due to the specific characteristics associated with their physical and structural conditions and resulting from their remoteness, insular locations, difficult topography and climate, constitute a specific group of regions recognised by the Treaty of Lisbon. The EU’s ORs currently consist of Madeira, the Azores, the Canary Islands, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion, French Guiana and Saint Martin. These regions possess a special status enshrined in the Treaty, which permits a derogation from the rules of the Treaty and the adjustment of these rules to the ORs, by virtue of their particular characteristics and conditions. I welcomed the proposals set out in the report to take due account of these regions’ uniqueness, with special emphasis on cohesion policy as the main instrument for action on their small economies, to adjust the application of EU policies in the ORs, which would better achieve the objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion in these regions and would contribute towards the accomplishment of the EU 2020 objectives, and to facilitate better integration of these regions into the European Union."@en1
