lpv:translated text	"This report relates to the French Overseas Departments and pursues the same objectives as the proposal on the Canary Islands, drafted by the same rapporteur. It seeks to protect certain products that are considered to be more sensitive in the outermost regions through tax measures. Council Decision 2007/659/EC authorises France to apply a reduced rate of excise duty to traditional rum produced in these regions. Given that this derogation expires at the end of 2012, the French authorities have made two requests to the Commission: firstly, that the annual quota of pure alcohol be increased from 108 000 hectolitres to 125 000 hectolitres, and secondly, that the period of application of the decision be extended by one year, until the end of 2013. The liberalisation and deregulation of trade and free competition, which is considered sacrosanct, threaten the viability of local products, particularly in countries and regions that have weaker systems of production and which are subject to various structural constraints. However, reality has shown that this risk is not restricted to the outermost regions. Many of the reasons underpinning the need to protect local production in the outermost regions also justify the need to protect production in Member States with weaker economies, as in the case of Portugal."@en1
