Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:

(2) The French authorities have informed the Commission that they wish to introduce an exemption from excise duty for gases used as engine fuel in gas powered refuse collection vehicles from 1 January 2000.
(3) This measure extends the coverage of a previously authorised derogation(2) for an exemption from duty for gases used as engine fuel for public transport vehicles and forms part of a programme to reduce atmospheric pollution by providing an incentive for increasing the number of vehicles running on LPG or natural gas.
(4) The other Member States have been informed thereof.
(5) The Commission and Member States consider that, on the basis of the currently available information, there are no indications that the introduction of an exemption from excise duty for gases used as engine fuels in gas powered refuse collection vehicles is likely to give rise to distortions of competition or hinder the operation of the internal market.
(6) This Decision does not prejudice the outcome of any State aid procedures that may be undertaken in accordance with Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty.
(7) The Commission regularly reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they are compatible with the operation of the internal market or with Community policy on protection of the environment.
(8) France has requested authorisation to introduce an exemption from excise duty for gases used as fuel in gas powered refuse collection vehicles with effect from 1 January 2000.
(9) The Council will review this decision on the basis of a proposal from the Commission no later than 31 December 2002 when the authorisation granted by this Decision expires,
In accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC and notwithstanding the obligations imposed by Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(3) and in particular the minimum rates laid down in Article 7 thereof, France is hereby authorised to introduce an exemption from excise duty for gases used as engine fuel in gas powered refuse collection vehicles from 1 January 2000 until 31 December 2002.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.
