"Mr President, I would like to thank the Commissioner for the rather hope-inspiring reply that it would be possible to use Interreg funds.
When this ferry traffic is phased out at the beginning of the new year it will have very serious financial and also human consequences for the two regions of Västerbotten and Österbotten. This is a direct consequence of the decision to abolish duty-free.
This can also be regarded as a competition-related issue, as duty-free goods can continue to be sold in the southern part of the Baltic on the crossing between Stockholm and Helsinki, whereas they are not permitted to be sold on the journey between Umeå and Vasa. How does this actually accord with the Union’s policy on competition? Would it not be possible to extend the exception for duty-free sales to the whole of the Baltic?"@en1
