"Council Decision 2002/546/EC authorises Spain, up to 31 December 2011, to apply exemptions from or reductions in the tax known as AIEM to a list of products produced locally in the Canary Islands. On 16 November 2010, Spain submitted a request to the Commission to extend the period of application of Decision 2002/546/EC for two years, so that its expiry date coincides with that of the ‘Guidelines on National Regional Aid for 2007-2013’. The Commission has assessed this in light of the scale of the handicaps affecting the Canary Islands. The Commission has come to the conclusion that it is justified to grant the request to Spain on the basis of the available information. As a consequence, there is a proposal for a Council decision amending Decision 2002/546/EC as regards its period of application, allowing the extension of the period of application until 31 December 2013. Parliament has been called upon to vote on this amendment, and as I have no objections, apart from believing that these measures of positive discrimination in favour of the outermost regions are important for the archipelago, which benefits from them directly, and for others which can cite this as a precedent, I voted in favour."@en1
