Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9

(9) In order to better take into account the specific nature of those disasters which, although important, do not reach the minimum scale required to benefit from a contribution from the Fund, the criteria for regional disasters should be determined based on the damage calculable by reference to regional gross domestic product (GDP). These criteria should be adapted to take into account existing European territorial diversity and, in particular, the situation of the outermost regions, whose special status as recognised in Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union entitles them to differentiated treatment. Those criteria should be determined in a clear and simple manner in order to reduce the possibility of applications being submitted which do not meet the requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9 a (new)

(9a) The quantifiable criteria should be complemented with particular attention to the impact of a disaster occurring in the outermost regions, to the extent that it could have serious repercussions for the economic and social development of these regions. Such consequences could, in particular, have a major impact on infrastructure and on fundamental sectors of local economic activity, severely affecting the economic, social and structural situation of the outermost regions.

Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – section 3 – point 4 – point 4.2 – paragraph 1

Transport is a major driver of Europe's economic competitiveness and growth and its territorial cohesion. It ensures the mobility of people and goods necessary for an integrated European single market and an open and inclusive society, reducing the isolation of European regions at all levels. It represents one of Europe's greatest assets in terms of industrial capability and quality of service, playing a leading role in many world markets. Transport industry and transport equipment manufacturing together represent 6.3 % of the Union's GDP. At the same time, the European transport industry faces increasingly fierce competition from other parts of the world. Breakthrough technologies will be required to secure Europe's future competitive edge and to mitigate the drawbacks of our current transport system.

Co-financing rates mentioned above may be increased by up to 10 percentage points for actions having cross-sector synergies, reaching climate mitigation objectives, enhancing climate resilience or reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and in the case of investments in areas with natural disadvantages, such as the outermost regions, in line with Articles 355 and 375 TFEU.

Proposal for a regulation – amending act
Recital 12 a (new)

(12a) Given their potential as a means of giving effect to Union initiatives and projects and of implementing European sectoral policy programmes, and the need for them to be made eligible for such initiatives, projects, and programmes, European groupings of territorial cooperation deserve to have a higher profile and should be integrated more fully into European and national legal systems, in keeping with the principles of legal security and certainty.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 30a (new)

(30a) With a view to meeting local consumption needs for milk in Madeira and the Canary Islands, and bearing in mind the surplus that exists in the Azores, the trade dynamic among outermost regions should be fostered through specific measures that will help to activate these trade relations, in particular as regards transport. The conditions necessary for fair and equitable trade should also be guaranteed, in particular as regards the tax burden on trade.

Recital 16 c (new)

(16c) The problem of population ageing is frequently linked to the characteristics of rural areas but is nevertheless not exclusive to such areas, as this issue is also related to the conditions to be found in urban environments and the role of cities in integrating and shaping the population.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 16 d (new)

(16d) Active population ageing is underpinned by intergenerational solidarity that goes beyond integration into the labour market by creating more and better opportunities for older workers to participate, since it also targets their full integration in society, combating social exclusion by raising awareness with a view to their autonomy and quality of life, in particular through participation in activities such as tourism and voluntary work.
