INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE MONITORING REPORT REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 4

1.   

Estimated additional costs. The Spanish authorities shall send a summary report containing sufficient data to evaluate whether the additional costs, which increase the cost price of local production in comparison with products produced elsewhere, exist. The information provided in the summary report shall include at least the following information, where such information is available: costs of inputs; costs of over-stocks; equipment costs; additional labour costs; and financial costs. That data must be provided by, at least, a reference to the product categories of the Harmonised System Headings, according to the four digits of the Combined Nomenclature.

That report shall contain the summary results of detailed ad hoc studies on additional costs that Spain shall continue conducting periodically.

2.   

Other subsidies. The Spanish authorities shall send a list of all other aid and support measures addressing the additional operating costs of economic operators linked to the outermost region status of the Canary Islands.

3.   

Impact on public budget. The Spanish authorities shall complete Table 1 providing the estimated total amount (in EUR) of tax collected or not collected under the AIEM regime.

Irregularities. The Spanish authorities shall provide information on any investigations on administrative irregularities, in particular, on evasion from taxes or smuggling, in the context of the application of the authorisation. They shall provide detailed information, including, at least, information on the nature of the case, value and time period.

(1) ‘Foregone tax revenue’: the total amount (in EUR) of tax not collected because of the tax differentials applied to local production (exemptions/reductions). At product level, it is calculated by multiplying the value of production sold on the local market (i.e. deducting exports) by the tax differential applied. The indicator is then calculated by summing up product-level estimates.

(2) ‘Tax receipts – imports’: the total amount (in EUR) of the tax levied on the imports of taxable products.

(3) ‘Tax receipts – local production’: the total amount (in EUR) of the tax levied on the taxable local products.

(*1)  The information might not be available for all the years listed.

(*2)  Provide comments and clarifications as deemed relevant.

(4) ‘supported sectors’: intended as the economic sectors (NACE definition or the like) where the production is prevalently (by production volume) benefitting from tax exemptions/reduction.

(*3)  The information might not be available for all the years listed.

(*4)  Provide comments and clarifications as deemed relevant.

(5) ‘CN4 approved category’: the CN4 category approved in this Decision.

(6) ‘Code specification’: in the event a different treatment is extended to different 10-digit codes or based on other ad hoc specifications of the CN/TARIC definitions.

(7) ‘External tax rate’: the tax rate applied to imports.

(8) ‘Internal tax rate’: the tax rate applied to local production.

(9) ‘Tax differential applied’: the difference between external and internal rate.

((**))  Provide comments and clarifications as deemed relevant.

(*5)  The first column should be identical to the previous table to allow data matching.

(10) ‘Volume’: in the column ‘unit’ specify the unit of measurement (tons, hl, pieces, etc.).

(11) ‘Value’: for import, it coincides with the taxable amount.

(*6)  ‘Market share’: the market share shall be calculated deducting the exports of local products.

(*7)  Provide comments and clarifications as deemed relevant.
