"Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides for special support measures for the outermost regions of the EU which have weak economies. On 9 October 2007, the Council adopted Decision 2007/659/EC which authorises France to apply to traditional rum produced in its overseas departments and sold on the French mainland a reduced rate of excise duty. However, France has requested the extension of the period of application of the aforementioned decision by one year and an increase in the annual quota of pure alcohol from 108 000 hectolitres to 125 000 hectolitres. This report concerns the Council decision amending Decision 2007/659/EC as regards its period of application, which would expire on 31 December 2012, extending it until 31 December 2013, when the ‘Guidelines on National Regional Aid for 2007-2013’ expire, along with an adjustment in the annual quota of pure alcohol, to reflect developments in the market for rum in the EU. I am voting for this report as I believe that these measures do not jeopardise the legal order of the EU."@en1
