Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Recalls that the Europe 2020 Strategy has been conceived as the main instrument for driving the European economies out of the economic crisis and that regional and cohesion policies are recognised as central instruments for the achievement of its targets, due to their budgetary dimension and multi-level governance approach; considers therefore that the outermost regions, along with all os an integral part of the Union, should be instrumental in delivering goals and objectives of ther European regions, deserve a place in 2020 strategy and should, therefore, be allocated the necessary financial means that will enable them to fully contribute to the new economic and budgetary strategy of the European Union for the period to 2020 for their own benefit and the benefit of the EU as a whole;

Paragraph 2
2. Notes that in the Commission's proposal for a multiannual financial framework for the period 2014-2020 cuts have been proposed to the entire spectrum of Cohesion Policy measures and objectives and that specific funding(of 5,9% in constant 2011 prices) and that the additional allocation for the outermost regions is also not spared, being cut back at least by 7.5 % or EUR 70 m in constant 2011 prices (from EUR 996 m in MFF 2007 - 2013 to EUR 926 m in MFF 2014 - 2020); is concerned, in this context, that the special allocation of EUR 926 m in the next MFF covers not only the outermost regions but also the sparsely populated areas, as set out in Protocol 6 to the Treaty of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden;

2 a. Recalls that the outermost regions should benefit from specific measures and additional funding to offset the handicaps resulting from the factors referred to in Article 349 of the Treaty; considers that capping co-financing rates at 85 % for outermost regions is a positive step to this direction and calls on the Commission to determine other ways of assisting these regions, especially if the funding allocated to them is reduced for the next programming period;
