"Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union authorises the European Council, on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, to adopt measures to benefit the outermost regions, taking account of their economic and social situation. The fact that these regions are permanently disadvantaged by their insularity, remoteness from major markets, small size, difficult topography and climate, and their economic dependence on a small number of products, severely hinders their development and fully justifies the implementation of the approved measures.. A system has been established for this purpose, which, until 1 July 2014, will allow France to employ the variable taxation system known as dock dues in its four overseas departments for certain products produced in these overseas departments. This system is of fundamental importance for the economic stability of these highly remote regions, making it possible to retain local production and jobs. At the same time, the dock dues revenues allocated to the regions play an important role in supporting investment policies aimed at local development. In my opinion, it is therefore necessary to retain the dock dues tax exemption or reduction granted to the French overseas departments, and, at the same time, I believe it would be right to consider retaining these measures permanently in order to avoid creating a situation of economic uncertainty in these highly remote regions every 10 years."@en1
