Отбелязва, че селскостопанските дейности в планинските райони (по-специално в среднопланинските и високопланинските райони) са свързани с повече усилия (наред с останалото и с по-висока трудоемкост и необходимост от ръчен труд) и по-големи разходи (наред с останалото и необходимостта от специални машини и по-високата цена на транспорта) поради своята природна обусловеност и рискове.
Notes that farming in mountain areas (in particular in highland and high mountain areas) involves greater effort (inter alia. high labour intensity and the need for manual labour) and higher costs (inter alia, the need for special machinery and the high cost of transport) due to natural conditions and risks;
20. изразява убеденост, че следва да се даде приоритет на поддържането на достатъчна гъстота на населението в планинските райони, както и че са необходими мерки за борба с опустиняването и мерки за привличането на нови хора;
Is convinced that priority should be given to maintaining sufficient population density in mountain areas and of the need for measures to combat desertification and attract new people;

Calls for the establishment of a fund for disadvantaged areas, including mountain areas (containing, for example, resources from the second pillar which have not been used on account of a lack of national co-financing);

Firstly, these characteristics clearly distinguish mountain areas from other types of landscape in the EU (e.g. maritime or coastal areas), some of which receive special attention from the EU in the form of well-developed political and economic strategies.

Difficult production conditions in the agricultural sector, high transport costs due to the steepness of the location and height differences, structural deficits in the transport and communications networks and high mobility costs in terms of time and money for transporting goods and people are just some of these 'disadvantages' that have an impact on all sectors of the economy (trade, tourism, crafts, farming, etc.) and shape the daily lives of the people there.

As well as being multifunctional, unique and disadvantaged, mountain areas also display features that may give them a competitive edge or qualify them in many areas as a model for other regions.
As well as being multifunctional, unique and disadvantaged, mountain areas also display features that may give them a competitive edge or qualify them in many areas as a model for other regions.
These features include their wealth of traditional knowledge and manufacturing procedures (e.g. high-quality products), the sustainable management and use of forests and meadows as a factor appealing to tourists and Nature lovers, their recourse to Nature-friendly cost-effective technologies (e.g. the development of rail-based solutions, new climate change technologies), their 'spirit of cooperation' on social matters (voluntary sector, mountain protection) and in other areas (cluster building, cooperatives).

As with the disadvantages, however, these advantages are based on the fact that mountain areas are an extremely sensitive natural habitat.

This means that in order both to compensate for their disadvantages and to draw on and exploit their potential strengths, there is a need for a sustainable, long-term approach to the management and use of resources that is conducted in harmony with Nature.

Considering the above, the rapporteur believes that the European Union can best serve its mountain areas by developing an overall strategy for the sustainable development and use of resources in mountain areas that should incorporate existing tried and tested formulae for success in a constructive way.

Foremost amongst these trends is the need for an innovation-friendly environment to exploit existing knowledge and develop new solutions, the associated need for basic and further training opportunities, and adaptation to climate change, which has a particular impact on the sensitivity and biodiversity of mountain areas.
