Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) According to Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), special attention should be paid to the outermost regions (ORs) of the Union, as certain sectors of these regions are particularly vulnerable. Therefore several Agreements concluded by the Union with third countries or regions already contain special mechanisms for these ORs. Those mechanisms allow for the adoption of specific safeguard measures if a product is imported in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause serious deterioration in the economic situation of any of those ORs. Additionally, in the event of an increase of imports that could eventually cause or threaten to cause serious deterioration in the economic situation of any of these regions, the Commission should also be able to introduce prior surveillance measures. When an Agreement concluded by the Union with a third country or region foresees special treatment for the ORs, these specific measures should apply in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation, in order to ensure them a proper and swift protection.
