"A series of structural factors weigh down on the outermost regions, affecting their social and economic situations and their development; for example, remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult terrain and climate, and economic dependence on a small number of products. Particular attention should therefore be paid to these regions.
Among other things, specific conditions should be set out for implementing legislation and sectoral policies. Obviously, this applies to all the outermost regions, including the Azores and Madeira, even though the measures adopted here relate only to the Canary Islands. Council Decision 2002/546/EC authorises Spain to apply exemptions from or reductions in the tax known as AIEM to a list of products produced locally in the Canary Islands up to 31 December 2011. At the request of the Spanish Government, the intention is now to extend the period of application of these measures. We agree with the proposal by the Commission and the rapporteur that Spain’s request be granted.
In addition to defending local production in the outermost regions, there is a need for measures protecting national production, particularly in the Member States with weaker economies, such as Portugal. We have already tabled proposals to that effect."@en1
