Key points

  • Outermost Regions face unique structural, social, and economic challenges that require specific policy considerations rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • The special status of these regions is protected by EU treaties, allowing for specific measures to be taken to support their development.
  • There is a strong call to increase financial aid for replacing engines to help vessels cope with the harsh climatic conditions of these regions.
  • The resolution demands more effective action to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in regional waters.
