Recital 40 a (new)
(40a) The diversity of the farming sector in certain isolated areas with inefficient production systems calls for specific agricultural policy instruments, with which the European Union has sufficient experience, to be brought to bear in order to make the sector more marked-oriented, reduce the impact on the environment through the abandonment of farming activity and preserve rural communities in line with the sustainability objective. Specific arrangements should be studied in depth for those island territories of the Union which have similar features to territories in which such agricultural policy instruments have proven a success.
