COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 26 November 2014
amending Decision 90/176/Euratom, EEC authorizing France not to take into account certain categories of transactions and to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base
(notified under document C(2014) 8928)
(Only the French text is authentic)
(2014/847/EU, Euratom)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 6(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Article 371 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), France may continue to exempt the transactions referred to in Annex X, Part B to that Directive, if it exempted those transactions at 1 January 1978; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.
(2)
In its response of 30 April 2014 to the letter of 26 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections (3), France requested an authorisation from the Commission to use fixed percentages of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in points 2 and 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. France has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. France should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using fixed percentages in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.
(3)
For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.
(4)
It is therefore appropriate to amend Commission Decision 90/176/Euratom EEC (4) accordingly,

Article 1
In Decision 90/176/Euratom, EEC the following Articles 2a and 2b are inserted:

Article 2b
By way of derogation from Article 2(4) of this Decision, for the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, France is authorised to use 0,11 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B, (passenger transport) to Directive 2006/112/EC.

Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 established a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States.

Following technical and economic developments, the established minimum coverage rate for arrivals could be adapted while maintaining statistics which meet the quality indicators and standards in force. This simplification will allow reducing the response burden on the parties responsible for providing statistical information, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises. The coverage rate for arrivals should, therefore, be reduced from 95 % to 93 %.
(3)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1982/2004 of 18 November 2004 implementing Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States and repealing Commission Regulations (EC) No 1901/2000 and (EEC) No 3590/92 (2) lays down the arrangements for the collection of Intrastat information. While Member States have to send Eurostat their monthly results by statistical value, they are limited in the practical arrangements for its collection. An overall coherent approach to the collection of Intrastat information should be provided for and the collection arrangements in terms of the statistical value should be streamlined.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the statistics on the trading of goods between Member States,

In Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 ‘95 %’ is replaced by ‘93 %’.
