Maintaining POSEI support is important for a company such as our small market size, which deals with the existence of extra costs arising from its outermost regions in purchasing raw materials and does not allow for the benefits of economies of scale.

EU support is essential for the regional economy of outermost areas such as the Autonomous Region of Madeira and for the supply of various agricultural inputs and for the production of Madeira wine. Without such support, the cost of the goods would be unbearable for consumers and for the development of agricultural activity.

Maintaining POSEI support is key to addressing the unique challenges faced by the outermost regions such as the island of Madeira. Firstly, Madeira’s insularity and geographical remoteness hampers connectivity and trade with the European continent.

POSEI support is of paramount importance to our company, as producer and exporter of Madeira wine, while mitigating the inequalities caused by its outermost nature. The increased costs we face, due to the purchase of dry matter, almost all of which come from mainland Portugal and other European regions, substantially burden our purchases, making it impossible for our products to position themselves on the…

POSEI must remain coupled with production. In French Guiana, it is inefficient because it is not enough to go hand in hand with a reliable investment programme (the administrative delays of the EAFRD fund manager).

Unequal support from the CAP limits the development of small-scale agriculture in the French outermost regions.

Community and national aid currently mainly benefits the export sectors (bananas and sugar cane).

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
