    COUNCIL DECISION

    of 10 February 2004

    concerning the dock dues in the French overseas departments and extending the period of validity of Decision 89/688/EEC

    (2004/162/EC)



    Article 1

    1.  
    ►M3  By way of derogation from Articles 28, 30 and 110 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the French authorities shall be authorised, until ►M5  30 June 2015 ◄ , to apply exemptions or reductions to the dock dues tax in respect of the products listed in the Annex which are produced locally in Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Mayotte and Réunion as outermost regions within the meaning of Article 349 TFEU. ◄

    These exemptions or reductions must be in keeping with the economic and social development strategy of the DOMs, taking account of its Community framework, and contribute to promoting local activities while not being such as to adversely affect the terms of trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.

    2.  

    With reference to the rate of taxation applied to similar products not originating in the DOMs, the application of the exemptions or reductions referred to in paragraph 1 may not result in differences of more than:

    (a) 

    10 percentage points for the products listed in part A of the Annex;

    (b) 

    20 percentage points for the products listed in part B of the Annex;

    (c) 

    30 percentage points for the products listed in part C of the Annex.

    3.  
    In order to allow the French authorities to exempt products produced locally by a trader with a turnover of less than EUR 550 000 , the differentials provided for in paragraph 2 may be increased by a maximum of five percentage points.
    4.  
    For products not listed in the Annex which are produced locally by a trader referred to in paragraph 3, the French authorities may nonetheless apply a difference in taxation in order to exempt them. This shall not, however, exceed five percentage points.

    Article 2

    The French authorities shall apply the same taxation arrangements as those applied to products produced locally to products that have benefited from the specific supply arrangements under Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001.

    Article 3

    The Council, acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall adopt the measures necessary for the application of this Decision with regard to the updating of the lists of products in the Annex because of the emergence of new production in the DOMs and the taking of urgent measures if local production is threatened by certain commercial practices.

    Article 4

    France shall immediately notify the Commission of the taxation arrangements referred to in Article 1.

    The French authorities shall present to the Commission by 31 July 2008 a report on the application of the taxation arrangements referred to in Article 1, in order to check the impact of the measures taken and their contribution to the promotion or maintenance of local economic activities, in the light of the handicaps affecting the outermost regions.

    On the basis of this report, the Commission shall present a report to the Council giving a full economic and social analysis, and where appropriate a proposal for adapting the provisions of this Decision.

    Article 5

    Articles 1 to 4 shall be applicable as from 1 August 2004.

    Article 6 shall be applicable as from 1 January 2004.

    Article 6

    The period of validity of Decision 89/688/EEC is hereby extended to 31 July 2004.

    Article 7

    This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.
