Proposal for a decision

Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 8
(8) The special relationship between the Union and the OCTs is moving from a development cooperation approach to a reciprocal partnership to support the OCTs’ sustainable development. Moreover, the solidarity between the Union and the OCTs should be based on their unique relationship and their belonging to the same European family, given that the first order of solidarity lies in the links that bind them to the territories of the Member States concerned.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 11
(11) Union financial assistance allocated through the partnership should bring a European perspective to the development of OCTs and should contribute to the strengthening of the close and long lasting ties with it, while strengthening the position of OCTs as advanced outposts of the UnionMember States to which they are attached, based on the common values and history which link the partners.

Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 12
(12) Given the OCTs’ geographical position, and despite the different status vis-à-vis Union law of each actor in a given geographical area, cooperation between them and their neighbours should be pursued in the interests of all sides with a particular focus on areas of common interest and the promotion of the Union’s values and standards.

Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 13
(13) Many OCTs are neighbours to outermost regions, referred to in Article 349 TFEU and to African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States and other third territories and countries and share common needs with their neighbours from climate change adaptation and mitigation and the preservation of biodiversity to oceans- related issues, economic diversification and disaster risk reduction. In particular, given their specific geographical situation, many OCTs experience catastrophic climate events, which are occurring with ever-increasing frequency as a result of climate change.

Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 15
(15) The OCTs are host to wide terrestrial and marine biodiversity. Climate change is impacting on OCTs’ natural environment in ways that are more perceptible and more acute than in the EU mainland, given their reduced size, and constitutes a threat undermining their sustainable development. Actions in the fields of conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services, disaster risk reduction, sustainable management of natural resources and promotion of sustainable energy contributes to adaptation and mitigation of climate change in the OCTs. The association should aim at ensuring the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of biological diversity and ecosystem services as a key element for the achievement of sustainable development.

Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 19
(19) The association between the Union and the OCTs should take into account and contribute to the preservation of the cultural diversity and identity of OCTs as well as the particular cultural and historical links between these territories and the Member States to which they are attached.

Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 27
(27) In the interest of efficiency, simplification and recognition of the management capacities of the OCTs' authorities, the financial resources granted to the OCTs should be managed on the basis of a reciprocal partnership, which must, as a matter of course, involve the territory concerned and the Member State to which it is attached. Moreover, the authorities of the OCTs should assume the responsibility for the formulation and implementation of those policies agreed upon between the parties as cooperation strategies. The limited administrative and human resources of the OCTs should be taken into account in the programming and implementation process.
