"In September 2010, the Spanish Government requested, on behalf of the government of the Canary Islands, an extension of the suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain products, stating in the justification that, in view of the remoteness of the islands, businesses face extremely unfavourable economic and commercial disadvantages which have a negative impact on demographic trends, employment, and social and economic development.
The recent economic crisis has seriously affected industry and the construction sector in the Canary Islands, and the unfavourable financial conditions have had a serious impact on many areas of business. In addition to this, the sharp growth in unemployment in Spain has further dampened domestic demand, including demand for industrial products. It is necessary to ensure, however, that these customs measures are made use of only by businesses based in the Canary Islands. It would be appropriate to transfer the implementing powers to the Commission in order to allow any necessary temporary withdrawal of the suspension where there is disruption to trade, and in order to ensure unified conditions for the implementation of the regulation.
In any case, however, I believe that it is justified to extend the period of complete suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for certain types of product for the Canary Islands, in an attempt to bolster the competitive position of local businesses and stabilise employment."@en1
