"Taking into account the special conditions, characteristics and constraints of the EU’s outermost regions, the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, and after consulting Parliament, can adopt specific measures aimed at laying down the conditions of application of the Treaties, in accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, including specific measures relating to fiscal policy. Council Decision 2007/659/EC of 9 October 2007 thus authorises France to apply a reduced rate of excise duty to traditional rum produced in its overseas departments and sold on the French mainland, limited to an annual quota of 108 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol, with the derogation expiring on 31 December 2012.
On 29 June 2010, the French authorities sent the Commission the report, which included two requests: to increase the annual quota to 125 000 hectolitres in order to reflect developments on the market for rum in the EU, and to extend the period of application of the decision until 31 December 2013, so as to bring it into line with that of the State aid decision on the same issue, which was granted by the Commission and agreed by Parliament."@en1
