We support the application of more individual rules, with derogations and specific, different and tailored measures duly adapted to the economic realities of the outermost regions and more favourable to their production capacities.
This report aims to apply a special rate of excise duty to beer produced in Madeira. This rate, which is lower than the national rate fixed, will apply in those cases where the annual production of the brewery does not exceed 300 000 hectolitres.
As pointed out by the Commission, the price of locally produced beer, even with the tax benefit of 50%, is still 7.5% higher than the retail selling price of beer brewed in mainland Portugal and sold on the market of Madeira. If the benefit of the tax reduction is lost, local breweries will be unable to match the competition.
As a result, bearing in mind the specific characteristics and demands of the situation in the outermost regions, we support the measures which therefore aim to guarantee the right of production in line with the region’s specific potential, which recognise the regional economy and, as a result, which guarantee the survival of the local brewing industry faced with the national and international market."@en1
