(9a) It should however be taken into account that many remote, island, maritime, sparsely populated and outermost regions have already increased their level of energy independence from renewable sources beyond the 20% target, and in these circumstances, and bearing in mind that they already face accessibility problems, such remote regions should not be further penalised by the imposition of additional taxes in the form of a CO2 tax on aviation where this is people's only form of access.
