Domnule preşedinte, doamnelor şi domnilor, regiunile ultraperiferice se deosebesc prin particularităţile socioeconomice şi structurale determinate de distanţa lor faţă de pieţe, de izolare, de suprafaţa mică, de topografie, de clima dificilă şi de dependenţa lor economică faţă de anumite produse.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the outermost areas are distinguished by socio-economic and structural particularities determined by their distance from the markets, their isolation, their small area, their topography, their difficult climate and their economic dependency on certain products.
