As the European LEADER Association for Rural Development (ELARD), we welcome the opportunity to contribute to the consultation on the EU Strategy for the Outermost Regions and the regulatory simplification package. The nine EU outermost regions (RUP) combine unique assets with structural challenges, and require governance, funding, and regulatory approaches tailored to their realities.

ELARD - European LEADER Association for Rural Development filed 2 positions between 5 Jan 2026 and 19 Jan 2026, across 2 of the 326 legislative files tracked here.
What they argued
In a rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented global context, the EUs long-term role in the world will depend not only on its external power projection, but also on its internal capacity for resilience, cohesion and democratic legitimacy. Strategic autonomy, competitiveness and credibility are ultimately grounded in the Unions territorial, societal and governance foundations.
