BY THE COMMISSION (1)

AMENDMENTS
BY PARLIAMENT

Amendment 42
Recital 1

(1) By Decision 91/315/EEC of 26 June 1991 the Council
adopted a programme of options specific to the remote and
insular nature of Madeira and the Azores (Poseima) in accord-
ance with the Community(cid:146)s policy of assistance for the most
remote regions. The purpose of the programme is to facilitate
the economic and social development of those regions and
enable them to benefit from the advantages of the single mar-
ket of which they are an integral part despite the objective
factors leaving them geographically and economically isolated.
The programme calls for the CAP to be applied in those
regions and provides for special measures to be adopted,
in
particular to improve the conditions in which agricultural pro-
ducts are produced and marketed there and to mitigate the
effects of their exceptional geographical situation and con-
straints as since recognised in Article 299(2) of the Treaty.

Recital 1a (new)

(1a) Article 299(2) of the Treaty states that the Council,
acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Com-
mission and after consulting the European Parliament, shall
adopt specific measures aimed, in particular, at laying down
the conditions of application of the Treaty to the outermost
regions of the European Union, in the context of, inter alia,
access to the Structural Funds.
