Basically, the June Movement believes that the structural development funds should be phased out. Only to the extent that we do in actual fact have the structural development funds should the very small islands too be given their place.
Their particular handicap necessitates support for development processes that can increase settlement and employment, that is to say the promotion of a year-round society on the small islands too.
The June Movement is voting in favour of the report but would point out how grotesque it is that, at the same time as providing development aid, the EU is imposing upon the island societies, through its demands for tendering, a situation in which transport, which is absolutely crucial, is made unnecessarily more expensive.
