Article 22 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. To increase the market competitiveness of agricultural products from the outermost regions and improve the ability of agricultural holdings to withstand natural disasters and hazards, steps shall be taken to encourage each subsector as a whole to take out disaster risk insurance.

Amendment 21 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 31 – paragraphe 3 a (new)
3a. When the Union conducts trade negotiations with third countries, third- party regional organisations or international organisations likely to affect agricultural sectors supported by the POSEI, and where significant changes to the common agricultural policy are proposed, impact studies or prior assessments of the possible effects on agriculture in the outermost regions must be carried out. The criteria adopted by the Commission for such studies or assessments shall be those established by the UN.

Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) To avoid undermining the POSEI objectives, the Commission shall carry out impact studies or prior assessment of the possible effects (based on the criteria set by the UN) whenever international trade agreements are negotiated which may affect sectors supported by the POSEI. On completion, said impact studies or prior assessments of possible effects shall be forwarded by the Commission to Parliament, the Council and the local or regional authorities of the outermost regions before conclusion of the international agreements concerned.

Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) Support for traditional sectors is all the more necessary because it enables them to maintain the quality of their products and to remain competitive on the EU market in the face of competition from third countries, and because new trade agreements posing a threat to these sectors have just been signed with Latin American countries and within the WTO. The Commission and the Member States should, however, ensure that support provided to so-called traditional sectors does not threaten the development of other diversified animal and vegetable sectors.
