"The European Parliament has adopted by a large majority the report on the role of the cohesion policy in the outermost regions (ORs) in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy and I welcome that. On account of their physical and structural characteristics, and because of their geographic remoteness and isolation, the ORs enjoy a special status and, therefore more than deserve differential treatment, as evidenced by the report. Like other regions in the European Union, the ORs should be aiming to achieve the Europe 2020 strategy goals. Their development and growth are dependent on these. However, given their characteristics and their specific constraints, European policies must be applied appropriately to the ORs, on both internal and external matters. The European Commission should take these regions into account when negotiating trade deals with third countries as they may have a strong impact on their economic development. The ORs have their advantages and disadvantages. It is up to the European Union to find the right balance in the implementation of its policies, in its approach to governance, and in promoting their integration into the geographical regions to which they belong."@en1
