2. Support under this Article shall be subject to the formal recognition by the competent authority of the Member State that a natural disaster, adverse climatic event or catastrophic event, as defined by the Member State, has occurred and that these events, or measures adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 to eradicate or contain a plant disease or pest, or measures adopted to prevent or eradicate animal diseases listed in the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882 or measures adopted regarding an emerging disease in accordance with Article 6(3) and Article 259 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 have directly caused a damage resulting in the destruction of at least 30 % of the average annual production of the farmer in the preceding three-year period or a three-year average based on the preceding five-year period, excluding the highest and the lowest entry.
3. The losses shall be calculated either at holding level, at the level of the holding’s activity in the sector concerned or in relation to the specific area concerned.

(a) guaranteed supply to the smaller Aegean islands of products essential for human consumption or for processing and as agricultural inputs by mitigating the additional costs incurred due to their extreme remoteness or insularity, without harming local production and the growth thereof;
(b) securing the long-term future and development of agricultural activities in the smaller Aegean islands, including the production, processing and sale of local crops and products, with a particular focus on food security and self-sufficiency, and maintaining and strengthening their competitiveness.
4. Greece may implement in smaller Aegean islands the interventions referred to in Article 35(1), except for those referred to in point (o) [outermost regions] of the first paragraph of that Article [Types of intervention].
5. Farm stewardship referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) …/… [CAP Regulation] shall apply to beneficiaries receiving support for local agricultural products referred to in Article 44 [Support for local agricultural products].

Or. en

Justification

It is proposed to replace the term ‘decarbonised transport’ with ‘accessibility’, as the original wording could be interpreted as imposing a greening requirement, whereas in certain outermost regions the priority lies in catching up and modernising transport infrastructure that is non-existent, ageing, or insufficiently developed. Such infrastructure is essential for these regions given their remoteness. Furthermore, the outermost regions face some of the most deteriorated social indicators, which calls for a strengthening of local services.

In the outermost regions, the availability of certain harmonised statistical data is often limited, or even non-existent in the case of Saint Martin. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the criteria for calculating additional costs are based on appropriate methodologies, so as to guarantee that the reality of these territories is accurately and fairly reflected.This entails removing references to agriculture in the outermost regions from the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the conditions for the implementation of Union aid under the common agricultural policy for the period 2028–2034 (COM(2025) 560), which should include a specific reference to the dedicated instrument adapting the CAP to the outermost regions, namely Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 (POSEI Regulation), as currently in force.

Article 48a
POSEI Fisheries programme for the outermost regions
1. The Member States shall adopt specific fisheries and aquaculture measures – a POSEI Fisheries programme – as a response to the challenges stemming from the remoteness of the outermost regions, in particular their distance, insularity, small size, topography and adverse weather conditions, as well as their economic dependence on a small number of products, in the Union regions referred to in Article 349 TFEU.
These measures shall aim to:
(a) ensure that the outermost regions are supplied with the key fishery and aquaculture products for human consumption and processing, as well as the production factors needed for fishing activities, and thus bring down the extra costs related to their remoteness, without harming local production or their development;
(b) maintain and develop, in a sustainable manner, the fisheries and aquaculture supply chain, including the production, processing and marketing of local products;
(c) contribute, where applicable, to the financing of the renewal of fishing fleets in those regions;
(d) provide income support for fishers.
2. The POSEI Fisheries programme shall include:
(a) an implementation timeline and an indicative annual financial framework setting out the resources to be deployed;
(b) proof of the compatibility and consistency between the various measures under the programme and the quantitative criteria and indicators used for monitoring and evaluation;
(c) provisions for effective implementation; (d) designation of the competent authorities and bodies responsible for implementing the programme, as well as designation at the appropriate levels of authorities or associated bodies and socio-economic partners, and the results of consultations held.
The measures put forward by the Member States in their POSEI Fisheries programme shall be approved by the Commission prior to implementation.
Member States may grant additional financing for the implementation of the POSEI Fisheries programmes.
This support may take the form of operating aid for the production, processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products, with a view to alleviating the specific constraints these regions face as a result of their isolation, insularity and remoteness. In such cases, the Member States shall notify the Commission of this aid, which the Commission may duly approve in accordance with this Regulation as part of the POSEI Fisheries programme. Aid thus notified shall be regarded as notified within the meaning of the first sentence of Article 108(3) TFEU.
