Whereas Directive 77/388/EEC lays down common provisions for all fields covered by value added tax ; whereas, in many cases, it is incumbent upon the Member States to determine the conditions under which these provisions shall apply ; whereas, since the scope of Directive 77/388/EEC is so wide as to encompass a very large number of national regulations, several Member States have been unable to carry out the necessary adaptions in time to comply with Directive 77/388/EEC ; whereas these Member States have thus been unable to complete the legislative procedure necessary to adapt their legislation on value added tax within the time limit laid down;
Whereas the Member States concerned have requested an extension of the time limit for the entry into force of Directive 77/388/EEC ; whereas in this context an extension for a maximum of 12 months should be sufficient,
