Dock dues in the French overseas department: period of application of exemptions or reductions to dock dues

The European Parliament adopted by 591 votes to 57, with 22 abstentions, in the framework of a special legislative procedure (Parliament’s consultation), a legislative resolution on the proposal for a Council decision amending the period of application of Council Decision 2004/162/EC concerning the dock dues in the French overseas departments.

Following its Committee on Regional Development, Parliament approved the Commission proposal which aims to extend by six months the current system of dock dues in the French overseas departments.
