History
1992, on the initiative of the Islands Commission of Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR), within the framework of Regions and Cities of Europe (RECITE Programme) and funded by European Commission (EC). The pilot phase of the project came to an end on 31 Dec 1995, the System now being the direct responsibility of member regions.
Aims
Work with all island regions of the European Union in confronting common problems: isolation and remoteness; limited natural and human resources; difficulties in terms of competitiveness and economic development; fragile environment. Develop an information system and databases so as to ensure exchange of information on the means best adapted to combat insularity.
