"Article 349 of the Treaty authorises the Member States of France, Spain and Portugal to provide for a difference between the taxation of local products and the taxation of products from other Member States. This was introduced on the basis of the perceived permanent handicaps that affect the economic and social conditions of these ‘outermost regions’, as they are defined in the Treaty. This report accepts the Commission’s proposal to extend the application of exemptions from and reductions in a tax known as AIEM for certain products produced locally in the Canary Islands. In line with consistent ECR policy on such Article 349 measures, I have refused to support this report in committee, on the basis that the Treaty provision grants an unfair advantage to the three Member States concerned, even though all Member States have their own peripheral regions and yet cannot benefit from such exemptions from harmonising Community provisions on VAT."@en1
