"The report in question, by Ms Hübner, concerns the proposal for a Council decision amending Decision 2002/546/EC as regards its period of application, which ended on 31 December 2011. The aforementioned decision, whose legal framework is Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, provides for special support measures for the outermost regions of the EU as a means of overcoming the economic disadvantages resulting from their geographic location. The Canary Islands are among the regions considered ‘outermost’. The global economic and financial crisis has had serious repercussions on tourism in the Canary Islands and has caused a significant increase in unemployment in the region, which increased from 17.3% in 2008 to 26.2% in 2009, leading the government of Spain to request from the European Commission a two-year extension of the period of application of Decision 2002/546/EC. As such, I voted in favour of extending the period of application of Decision 2002/546/EC to local products of the Canary Islands by two years; in other words, until 31 December 2013, on which date the ‘Guidelines on National Regional Aid for 2007-2013’ expire."@en1
