"Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union authorises the Council, on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, to adopt specific measures for the benefit of the Union’s outermost regions, taking account of their social and economic situation. The fact that these regions are permanently disadvantaged by their insularity, a situation all too familiar to the Portuguese residents of the Azores and Madeira, 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 specially tailored measures. Such is the basis for France’s so-called ‘dock dues’ system, which has been found to be broadly positive in view of its goals, especially in terms of its positive impact on preserving employment. The Commission proposal, accompanied by a proposal for a Council decision, suggests, in the case of French Guiana, extending the application of this system to some 50 products. Parliament approves this proposal without amendment. In view of the particular characteristics of the economies of the outermost regions and bearing in mind that the ‘dock dues’ comply with Community law and stimulate these economies, I voted in favour of this report."@en1
