Amendment 43 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Takes the view that the geographical zoning of the new Guidelines on Regional State Aid 2014-2020 (RSAG) should not be reduced, and that decreasing the aid intensity should be reconsidered, taking into account the political, economic and social situation in the Member States; in this regard, calls on the Commission to clearly restate in its Guidelines the principles of non degressivity and non limitation in time for operating aids in the outermost regions due to their specific handicaps; points out that, in the global context, the EU economy could be placed at a disadvantage relative to third countries benefitting from looser employment schemes or lower costs in particular in the outermost regions, which are neighbours to less developed countries;;

Amendment 96 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8.
