"Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), which applies to remote regions of the Union, including the French Overseas Departments, provides that, taking account of the structural social and economic situation of very remote regions, which is compounded by their remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult topography and climate, and economic dependence on a few products, all of which severely restrain their development, the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, and after consulting the European Parliament, shall adopt specific measures aimed, in particular, at laying down the conditions of application of the Treaties to those regions, including common policies. These measures mainly concern tax policy. The Council adopts them without violating the integrity and cohesion of the EU legal order, including the single market and common policies. In France, the reduced rate of excise duty is limited to an annual quota of 108 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol, and the validity of the exemption expires on 31 December 2012. The French authorities are requesting an increase in the annual quota to 125 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol, and have applied for the implementation period of Decision 2007/659/EC to be extended by one year. After reviewing all of the facts, an increase in the quota to 120 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol is proposed. Accordingly, in light of the available information, an extension of the implementation period of Decision 2007/659/EC by one year, until 31 December 2013, is justified."@en1
