Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25
Recital 25
(25) In the implementation of the Programme due consideration should be given to the strategy for outermost regions30 in view of Article 349 TFEU and the specific needs and vulnerabilities of these regions. The funding granted to these regions under the LIFE programme should therefore be increased significantly, given that it does not currently reflect the real needs and urgency of meeting the objectives of this regulation, in particular: to contribute to the shift towards a clean, circular, energy- efficient, low-carbon and climate-resilient economy, including through the transition to clean energy, to the protection and improvement of the quality of the environment and to halting and reversing biodiversity loss, thereby contributing to sustainable development. Union policies other than environmental, climate and relevant clean energy transition policies should also be taken into account. _________________ 30 COM(2017) 623 final
