"Council Decision 2002/546/EC of 20 June 2002 authorises Spain, up to 31 December 2011, to apply exemptions from or reductions in the AIEM tax to a list of products produced locally in the Canary Islands. The decision sets out the reasons for adopting specific measures, designed to strengthen local industry by making it more competitive, particularly due to the fact that it is an outermost region.
Spain submitted a request to the Commission to extend the period of application of Decision 2002/546/EC for two years, so that its expiry date coincides with that of the ‘Guidelines on National Regional Aid for 2007-2013’. The Commission assessed the application in light of the scale of the handicaps affecting the Canary Islands, and has come to the conclusion that it is justified to grant the request to Spain on the basis of the available information. Parliament has supported this decision. However, I believe that this should not affect trade with other outermost regions, but should, as its origins suggest, encourage the competitiveness of regions that have specific difficulties, and therefore require special measures."@en1
