A renewed strategy for the most remote parts of the EU, the so-called outermost regions, refers to CAP support as part of its plans to continue unlocking these rural regions’ potential through appropriate investment and reforms.
CAP support to EU outermost regions - Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion and Saint-Martin (France), the Azores and Madeira (Portugal) and the Canary Islands (Spain) will help implement the new strategy. It sees sustainable agriculture as a key sector for growth alongside eco-tourism, the blue economy, renewable energy, research, or space activities. Assets to build on include the regions’ young population and rich biodiversity.
Full details of these EU strategic priorities can be found in the Communication: Putting people first, securing sustainable and inclusive growth, unlocking the potential of the EU's outermost regions
