Article 82

1. In order to mitigate the adverse effects of any short-term fluctuations in export earnings, in particular in the agricultural, fisheries and mining sectors, which might jeopardise the attainment of the development objectives of the OCTs concerned, a system of additional support shall be instituted within the financial allocation referred to in Annex II. 2. Support in the event of short-term fluctuations in export earnings shall be aimed to safeguard macroeconomic and sectoral reforms and policies that are at risk as a result of a drop in revenue and remedy the adverse effects of instability of export earnings in particular from agricultural and mining products. The dependence of the OCTs economies on exports, in particular in the agricultural and mining sectors, shall be taken into account in the allocation of resources referred to in Annex V. In this context the isolated OCTs referred to in Annex I shall receive more favourable treatment in accordance with the criteria set out in Annex V. 3. The additional resources shall be provided in accordance with the specific modalities of the support mechanism as set out in Annex V. 4. The Union shall also provide support for market-based insurance schemes designed for OCTs seeking to protect themselves against the risk of fluctuations in export earnings.
