WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2695/96 by Karin RIIS-JØRGENSEN to the Commission. VAT exemptions under Swedish VAT legislation  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0049 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-2695/96 by Karin Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR) to the Commission (9 October 1996)Subject: VAT exemptions under Swedish VAT legislationOn Swedish accession to the EU Swedish VAT legislation became subject to EU rules. In the Council's sixth VAT directive (77/388/EEC) ((OJ L 145, 13.6.1977, p. 1. )), Annex F lists a number of types of transaction taxable under the directive but which the Member States may exempt from VAT for a transitional period. This includes services supplied by artists.Under Swedish VAT legislation the sale of rights in feature films is exempt from tax, and film producers and the like cannot therefore obtain reimbursement of the tax collected in connection with the production of films in Sweden.As the sale of film rights is subject to VAT in every other Member State, the result is that film producers established in Member States other than Sweden are obliged to collect VAT on the sale of rights into films produced in Sweden while local tax paid in connection with the production is not reimbursed. This reduces the competitive conditions for producers operating in Sweden in relation to similar producers operating in other Member States.Does the Commission not consider that Sweden, by refusing to register legal persons for VAT for the sale of rights is exceeding the powers of VAT exemption granted under point 2 of Annex F to the Council's sixth VAT directive?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (12 November 1996)According to Article 28(3)(b) of the sixth VAT Council Directive (77/388/EEC) Member States may, during the transitional period, continue to exempt the activities set out in Annex F of the sixth Directive. Annex F covers, among other things, services supplied by authors, artists and performers. In the Act of accession, Sweden has a special derogation with regard to services supplied by authors, artists and performers as set out in Annex F point 2 of the Directive. It is the opinion of the Commission that the derogation covers film rights sold by authors themselves, but not film rights which are sold by others. The Commission is looking into the issue to evaluate whether or not the provisions in the Swedish law comply with the provisions in the sixth VAT Directive.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2691/96 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Terrorist attack against the Ecumenical Patriarchate  


Official Journal C 091 , 20/03/1997 P. 0023 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-2691/96 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (9 October 1996)Subject: Terrorist attack against the Ecumenical PatriarchateThe Ecumenical Patriarchate has once again been the target of a terrorist attack by a fanatical Islamist organisation in Istanbul (29.9.1996).This fresh terrorist attack has caused disquiet throughout the Christian World, a disquiet aggravated by the practically non-existant measures taken to protect the Ecumenical Patriarchate, despite the many respresentations made in this connection.Will the Commission say:1. What representations it intends to make to the Government in Ankara; and2. Whether it intends to provide the Patriarchate with financial assistance to enable it to repair the damage?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (12 November 1996)The Commission notes that the official inquiry into the attack on the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul on 29 September 1996 has not yet concluded. The attack was claimed by IBDA-C, an Islamic terrorist group, but this has still to be confirmed by the inquiry.There is no specific heading in the Community budget that would allow it to fund the repairs.
