THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, andinparticular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(3),
Whereas a Declaration on the outermost regions of the Community is
annexed to the Treaty on European Union;
Whereas the difficulties facing the fishery industry of the European
Union are aggravated in particular by the cost of transporting fishery
products to markets as a result of the remoteness and isolation of theoutermost regions;
Whereas, as part of the Community's policy to assist its outermost
regions, by Decisions 89/687/EEC(
4), 91/314/EEC(5) and 91/315/
EEC(6) the Council has set up programmes of options specific to the
remote and insular nature of the French overseas departments
(Poseidom), the Canary Islands (Poseican) and Madeira and the Azores(Poseima) respectively, which outline the measures to be applied takingaccount of the special characteristics of and constraints on thoseregions;
Whereas measures of the same type already undertaken have proved
successful;
Whereas the regions concerned are facing specific development
problems and in particular additional costs incurred in the marketingof certainproducts as a result of their remoten ess; whereas, with aview to maintaining the competitiveness of certain fishery productsagainst similar products from other Community regions, the Commu-nity introduced measures in 1992 and 1993 to compensate for such
additional costs in the fisheries sector; whereas those measures were
followed up in 1994 and 1995 to 1997 by the adoption of Regulations(EC) No 1503/94(
7) and (EC) No 2337/95(8); whereas the arrange-
ments to compensate for the additional costs incurred in processingand marketing certain fishery products (tuna and demersal species in
the Azores; tuna, black scabbard-fish and mackerel in Madeira; tuna,
sardines, mackerel, aquaculture products, cephalopods, sole and seab-ream in the Canary Islands; shrimps in Guyana; tuna and swordfish inRéunion) should be continued from 1998 and provision must accord-ingly be made for the measures to be extended;
Whereas non-industrial and inshore fishing is important from the social
and economic viewpoints in the outermost regions of the European
Union;
Whereas fishing efforts must be rationalised for the sake of sound
management of stocks and in particular in view of the research of a1998R1587 — EN — 12.04.2002 — 001.001 — 2
