Im Auftrag des Fischereiausschusses durchgeführte Studie – Ålandinseln
Die Ålandinseln sind eine autonome, entmilitarisierte, schwedischsprachige Region Finnlands. Die Inselgruppe verfügt über eine eigene Regierung und ein eigenes Parlament.

Outermost regions of the EU: A stronger and renewed partnership
The EU's outermost regions qualify for special treatment owing to structural difficulties, such as remoteness, difficult topography or economic dependence on a few products, which can severely hamper their development.

Islands of the EU: Taking account of their specific needs in EU policy
Many EU Member States have islands and insular territories (e.g. archipelagos). Among these islands are several world famous tourist destinations, while they are home to considerable natural and cultural wealth. Certain islands also produce renowned agricultural products and handcrafts. However, islands also face considerable challenges. They may lack adequate transport links with the nearest mainland. Their ecosystems are vulnerable and natural resources are often scarce. Some are small and/or mountainous ...
Environmental sustainability of EU islands
EU islands share some of the challenges of the other EU regions but also have specific handicaps that might hinder their sustainable development prospects. Even if there is no EU insular law or specific funds for islands (except for outermost regions), and the definition of island regions remaining controversial, they can still use the available EU funds to tackle sustainable development. Aside from the cohesion policy 2007-2013, island regions can finance environmental sustainability projects ...
