"We are aware that in the outermost regions of the EU, there is a range of factors of a structural nature that affect their social and economic situation, as well as their development. These are cases of remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult topography and climate, and economic dependence on a few products. Particular attention should therefore be paid to these regions. Among other aspects, specific conditions should be defined for applying legislation and sectoral policies. Obviously, this applies to all the outermost regions, including the Azores and Madeira, even though the measures adopted here relate only to the Canary Islands. Council Decision 2002/546/EC authorises Spain, up to 31 December 2011, to apply exemptions from or reductions in the tax known as AIEM to a list of products produced locally in the Canary Islands. At the request of the Spanish Government, the intention is now to extend the period of application of these measures. We agree with the Commission and the rapporteur’s proposal that Spain’s request be granted. However, measures are also needed to protect national production, particularly in Member States with weaker economies, such as Portugal."@en1
