Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4a (new)
(4a) In order to avoid undermining the efforts to achieve the objectives of the POSEI programmes, the Commission should carry out impact assessments each time an international trade agreement is negotiated which may pose a threat to the sectors supported under the POSEI programmes. Once these impact assessments or prior evaluations have been carried out, the Commission should forward the findings to the European Parliament, the Council and the elected departmental or regional authorities in the outermost regions before the international agreements in question are concluded.

(8) In order to achieve in an effective manner the lowering of prices in the outermost regions andby mitigating the additional costs of their extreme remoteness, all the while maintaining the competitiveness of EUtheir products, aid should be granted for the supply of Community products to the outermost regions. Such aid should take account of the additional cost of transportarising from the transportation of the products in question to these regions and the cost of exports to third countries and, in the case of agricultural inputs and products intended for processing, the additional costs of their extreme remoteness, specifically insularity and small surface areas.

(17) Given that rice constitutes a staple of the diet of Réunion and that rice processing and polishing industries have been established there for many years, and since the island does not produce sufficient quantities of rice to meet local requirements, the import of this product to the island should continue to be exempt from any form of import tax.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 30
(30) Support for the production of cow’s milk in Madeira and Réunion has not been sufficient to maintain the balance between domestic and external supply, chiefly because of the serious structural difficulties affecting the sector and its poor capacity toroblems in adapting to new economic environments. Consequently, authorisation to produce UHT milk reconstituted from milk powder of EU origin should continue, in order to cover local consumption more fully. In order to inform the consumer correctly, it should be made compulsory to indicate the method by which UHT milk is reconstituted using milk powder on the sales labelling, provided that this does not pose an obstacle to the collection and marketing of all locally produced milk, or hamper efforts to promote the expansion of local production, the medium-term aim being to secure, for Réunion, self-sufficiency in milk production. In order to inform the consumer correctly, it should be made compulsory to indicate the method by which UHT milk is reconstituted using milk powder on the sales labelling. This provision should also be applicable in Martinique, French Guiana and Guadeloupe, should France make such a request citing the wish of local stakeholders to be covered by it and their ability to develop the milk sector.
