"We agree with the Council, which has decided to introduce specific measures for the benefit of the outermost regions, taking account of their particular economic and social situation. The fact that these regions are permanently disadvantaged by their insularity, remoteness from major markets, small size, difficult topography and climate and their economic dependence on a small number of products severely hinders their development and fully justifies the implementation of specially tailored measures. That is the basis for the ‘dock dues’ system, under which France is authorised, until 1 July 2014, to apply differential rates of the tax known as ‘dock dues’ to certain products manufactured in its four overseas departments. We believe, in fact, that the ‘dock dues’ system is important for economic stability in the outermost regions, since it enables local production and employment to be maintained and provides valuable support for policies promoting investment in local development. We therefore endorse putting the measure on a permanent footing so that the outermost regions in question do not find themselves subject to economic uncertainty at 10-yearly intervals. We therefore call for the exemptions from or reductions in ‘dock dues’ granted in the case of the French overseas departments to be maintained beyond 2014."@en1
