"Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides for special support measures for the outermost regions of the EU as a means of overcoming the economic disadvantages resulting from their geographic location. The Canary Islands are amongst the regions considered ‘outermost’. The Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, through the government of the Kingdom of Spain, has requested the extension of the current temporary suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on imports of a certain number of industrial products into the Canary Islands as a means of keeping the population employed and ensuring the competitiveness of local businesses. Taking account of the global financial crisis, this measure could help the region’s small and medium-sized enterprises and farmers to keep their economy stable and create jobs, so combating the recession being experienced in almost all the Member States of the EU. Given the socio-economic importance of this measure of temporary suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties, I voted for this report, drafted by Ms Hübner, and I hope that the economy of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands will recover quickly."@en1
