    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 thereof,

    Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

    Whereas, for reasons connected with their geographic economic and social situation, the French Republic should be granted the possibility not to apply in the French overseas departments Community provisions on taxes other than turnover taxes which affect the consumption of manufactured tobacco, as fixed by Council Directives 72/464/EEC (1) and 79/32/EEC (2);

    Whereas implementation of this Directive does not involve any amendment of the laws of the Member States,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

    Article 1

    The following sentence shall be added to Article 12 (1) of Directive 72/464/EEC and to Article 9 (2) of Directive 79/32/EEC:
