Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the practice of tax evasion and tax avoidance leads to budget losses and to violations of the principle of fair taxation and jeopardizes healthy competition ; whereas this therefore affects adversely the smooth running of the common market;
Whereas, in order to combat this practice more effectively, cooperation between tax administrations within the Community should be strengthened in accordance with common principles and rules;
Whereas, on 19 December 1977, the Council adopted Directive 77/799/EEC concerning mutual assistance by the competent authorities of the Member States in the field of direct taxation (3) ; whereas such mutual assistance should be extended to cover indirect taxes in order to ensure that these are correctly assessed and collected;
Whereas, as a matter of particular urgency, mutual assistance must be extended to cover value added tax, both because it is a general tax on consumption and because it plays an important part in the Community's own resources system;
Whereas the provisions of Directive 77/799/EEC are also suitable for value added tax, subject to certain amendments and additions ; whereas it is therefore sufficient to extend the scope of the said Directive,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
