Der er andre punkter som for eksempel fritagelserne, der har været genstand for en mængde ændringsfor slag, og hvor vi praktisk taget ikke har ændret vor oprindelige holdning, selv om der er problemer med hensyn til mulighederne for snyderi med for eksempel flydende gas (LPG).
DE ROSSA (CG). — Mr President, in Ireland nothing is calculated to enrage citizens as much as to be told finally, after all the expectations that have been built up, that they will still have to pay huge duties on cars imported into Ireland ; which, of course, means all cars, because we do not have a car industry in Ireland.
Og hvad angår satserne, vil jeg blot understrege et spørgsmål — for De sidder med den konkrete tekst i hænderne, og jeg skal blot introducere den — vedrørende de to ændringsforslag om en ændring af det grundlæggende reference
We have been told in the past that these duties would disappear, and we are now coming to realize that there will be so many loopholes and exemptions that duties will in fact remain very high on such items. Clearly, in theory, it is sensible, in what is supposed to be a single market, to harmonize to the greatest extent possible value added tax rates throughout the Community.
Udvalget om Transport og Turisme har i hele denne sag et væsentligt ærinde, nemlig at der i den skattemæssige behandling tages hensyn til den særlige beskaffenhed af den tjenesteydelse, der hedder per sonbefordring.
READ (S). — Mr President, I join with colleagues in congratulating Mr Metten on the thoroughness of his report, particularly in view of the complexity of VAT harmonization and the length of time these proposals have been under consideration.
Denne særlige beskaffenhed er resultatet af to afgørende karakteristiske egenskaber.
It seems clear that the role of VAT with regard to trade distortion is not as great as originally feared by the European Commission
Den første består i, at personbefordringen mellem medlemsstaterne, ligesom i øvrigt flytning af gods tilhørende enkeltpersoner, hidtil praktisk taget har været fritaget for beskatning.
There are also some areas, such as children's shoes and clothing, which in Ireland have traditionally been zerorated as an instrument of social policy, which need to be exempted.
forbindelse med den reducerede sats bør lægge endnu større vægt på, at reglerne vedrørende de produkter, der kan handles med, gøres obligatoriske, medens kompetencen vedrørende de produkter, der ikke kan gøres til genstand for handel, udmærket fortsat kan ligge hos medlemsstaterne.
The same applies when the Committee on Economic-Affairs, which is responsible for drafting the reports on the subject-matter of these proposed directives, receives the opinions of other committees after it has already approved the substance of the reports, as happened in this case.
Jeg er klar over vanskelighederne ved at gennemføre et sådant princip, men vi bør dog i det mindste gøre et forsøg her.
There is considerable irritation and defensiveness about national differences in rates, in what is taxed and in what has never been taxed.
Den anden karakteristiske egenskab består i, at transporttjenesteydelsen anses for at have fundet sted ved udgangspunktet for transporten.
Other speakers have touched on the question of charities and the danger which VAT harmonization represents for their revenue and work.
Det betyder, at der ikke kan finde harmonisering sted via konkurrence på satserne, som for andre produkters vedkommende, eftersom hver medlemsstat frit kan fastsætte den sats, der skal gælde for al befordring, der udgår fra dens territorium.
The other aspect with regard to charities concerns those who put goods to use — the blind, deaf, disabled or elderly. I had a letter from a constituent recently who installed an alarm in his elderly mother's home because she was frail and lived some distance from him.
Vort udvalgs udtalelse bygger på denne konstatering.
To his horror he has to pay 17 Vi % VAT on this, surely essential, item.
Vi foreslår, at transportydelsen beskattes med nedsat afgiftssats, så der kan ske en udligning mellem de nedsættelser, der gælder for transport internt i medlemsstaterne, eller i de fleste af dem, og den moderate stigning, som skyldes den ny afgift på transport inden for EF.
Of course the recent 2 Ά % rise in VAT, bringing the UK rate up to 17 Vi %, is further impoverishing to those who are already struggling.
Desuden anser vi det for overordentlig vigtigt, at det overlades til medlemsstaterne, om sociale og vel gørende aktiviteter som f.eks. aktiviteter på sund hedsområdet får en reduceret sats, for at finansieringen af netop sådanne, også ikke-statslige aktiviteter, som i vidt omfang udføres af velgørende organisationer, ikke unødigt bringes i fare.
This practice not only reduces Parliament's effective ness when influencing the Council's decisions but also affects the realization of the single market in 1992.
Jeg mener, at der skal hensyn til dette i en sådan europæisk retsakt.
Because we must not forget that once they have been approved, the directives have to be incorporated into national law.
Vi foreslår især, at denne sats ikke bliver en minimumssats, men en fast sats, der gælder alle, for vi ønsker ikke et EF-transportsystem, som er underlagt satser, der altid er forskellige, for der er ikke udsigt til, at de vil harmoniseres ved konkurrencens frie spil.
And that will be, in this case, a slow process, since the Member States with high tax rates will have to make readjustments in their tax revenue so that imbalances and deficiencies do not appear in their budgets, and the Member States with low tax rates will have to make readjustments to avoid unfavourableeffects on inflation and employment.
Vi anmoder også om, at den fordel det er at have mulighed for at trække skatten fra — det kan man som hovedregel med momsen — omsider også kan komme til at gælde for personbefordring.
They will also have to face competition between tax systems resulting from the elimination of fiscal frontiers which may facilitate convergence of tax rates. Do not misunderstand me.
Når det drejer sig om godstransport, accepterer udvalget princippet om at anvende normalsatsen i den udstrækning, det herefterdags er reglen for størsteparten af det transporterede gods, idet transporten hidtil er blevet beskattet med den sats, der gælder for de transporterede varer, og tillige i den udstrækning, der er tale om en skat, der er blevet betalt af skattepligtige, og som netop derved er fradragsberettiget.
I simply wanted to point out that the road we need to travel — so that as from 31 December 1992 we may be minimally prepared to set the single market in motion without irreparable mishaps — will be longer and more difficult than wc think.
Vi har til gengæld ønsket, at den sats, der gælder for personlige effekter, i forbindelse med en flytning, bliver en reduceret sats.
No efforts must be spared if we wish to influence the important final decisions which must be taken in the next few months.
Cornelissen (PPE), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Transport og Turisme. — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg vil fremhæve to punkter.
WIJSENBEEK (LDR). — (NL) Mr President, I put down a number of amendments to these proposals for three reasons.
Allerførst den ekstra betydning af harmonisering for grænseområderne. Den nederlandske og den tyske regerings nylige beslutninger om kraftigt at forhøje afgifterne på motorbrændstof får alvorlige følger i grænseområderne med andre medlemsstater.
Firstly because we can't apply VAT to transport services unless we do so in consultation with the countries around us and our closest neighbours, those countries we are currently negotiating with, namely Austria and Switzerland, because transport services are so important, so easily switched from onecountry to another, and that would be a distortion of competition which is precisely what we want to avoid.
Jeg nævner som eksempel det nederländsk-belgiske grænseområde, og så tænker jeg ikke kun på benzintankejerne, men også på de selvstændige erhvervsdrivende.
The rapporteur, Mr Metten, has taken all the many economic, political, social and cultural factors into account.
For med prisforskelle på 25 cent pr. liter er det umagen værd at tanke op på den anden side af grænsen og i mange tilfælde at købe ind.
This report is realistic and flexible, rightly recognizes the principle of subsidiarity and, we hope, will provide a formula that Member States can agree on.
Det er der ikke noget at indvende imod, men selvstændige erhvervsdrivende har ret til en gennemtænkt og beregnelig politik fra myndighedernes side.
We represent public opinion and I know that colleagues on the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy have taken considerable trouble to canvas opinion within their own Member States.
Jeg synes derfor også, at »Koks 25 cent« — Kok er den nederlandske finansminister — uden en lignende forhøjelse i Belgien er i strid med den europæiske ånd.
I hope the Commission and Council will accept our amendments and further this important proposal. .
Vi i Udvalget om Sociale Anliggender, Beskæftigelse og Arbejdsmiljø er af den opfattelse, at dette emne er af stor betydning netop af socialpolitiske grunde.
The second point on which I tabled an amendment is one which I make for the benefit of Mrs Scrivener, namely that you can't just keep piling one thing on top of another, but have to ensure a degree of relativity.
Samtidig er investeringerne inden for transportinfrastrukturen som procentdel af bruttonationalprodukt faldet kraftigt.
The more the Council debates its views and the closer they become by the time the relevant reports with the Parliament's opinions and
En »trafikinfarkt« truer i Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
DESMOND (S). — Mr President, we are on the verge of reaching agreement on the harmonization of VAT rates.
Der er presse rende behov for et europæisk mobilitets- og strukturplan for trafik og transport.
This is long overdue and I warmly commend Mr Blumers and our two rapporteurs for their heroic efforts in this regard.
For at gennemføre dette er meget store beløb påkrævet, i en størrelses
That said, I hope that when that has been
Cornelissen spejles naturligvis også i kompromisserne om mer værdi- og forbrugsafgiftssatserne.
DESMOND army (which is not true) nor a university (which is only partially true), whereas Germany has to finance unification.
Med hensyn til merværdiafgiftssatserne vil Den Socialistiske Gruppe følge Metten-forslagene.
achieved, we will then turn our attention to the urgent harmonization of social security costs, which have a far greater impact on costs within the perspective of a single market.
Den Socialistiske Gruppe anser forslaget om også her at undtage, i form af en henstilling, stedbundne leve rancer og ydelser fra afgiftsharmoniseringen for at være uhyre elegant og smidigt, fordi de ikke forvrider konkurrencen.
In view of the fact that this is the first time that we have seen draft conclusions of the Council containing a statement that they will be finalized in the light of the opinion of the European Parliament, I hope that we will take advantage of this unique opportunity, by intelligently amending the list of products and services for which Member States will have the option of applying reduced rates.
Det drejer sig ganske vist ikke om 96% af leverancerne og tjenesteydelserne, men dog om en ret så vigtig procentsats, og det skal der henvises til her.
As for the normal rate, the 15% floor is, for countries which, like my own, apply non-confiscatory indirect taxation for eminently social reasons, a compromise to secure for which they went as far as they could possibly go.
orden af 500 mia. ECU for de kommende ti år.
The Commission considers it logical to abolish them.
Højere bidrag fra forbrugerne forekommer mig at være uundgåelige, men disse skal så bruges til for bedring af infrastrukturen.
I wonder whether it will be taking that logic to its conclusion by abolishing its own privileges in the area of dutyfree sales ?
Jeg opfordrer derfor på Transportudvalgets vegne til oprettelsen af en europæisk infrastrukturfond.
One remaining issue must be resolved, namely that of dutyfree sales.
Vi foreslår, at der inden for rammerne af harmoniseringen af afgifterne pr. 1. januar 1993 opkræves én ECU-cent pr. liter benzin og diesel, og at disse penge indskydes i en europæisk infrastrukturfond.
I hope that later on this afternoon when Mr Metten and Mr Patterson meet the chairman of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, agreement will be reached, with regard to the amendments now tabled before Parliament, that a review period should be built in to whatever transitional period is agreed.
En ECU-cent pr. liter giver på årsbasis omkring to en halv mia. ECU.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the consensus which exists on a crossparty group basis within this Parliament can be achieved.
De kunne indpasses i den europæiske miljøafgift, som den kommende formand for Rådet af økonomi- og finansministre går ind for.
It is of vital importance that there should be agreement at Commission and Council level on this basic issue so that it will not in any way impede the process of bringing general VAT rates into full harmonization.
Særdeles vigtig er den reducerede afgiftssats, som navnlig medtager levnedsmidler til mennesker og tillige adgangen til kulturelle foranstaltninger.
This is a major issue for the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland because of the impact of transport costs on the airport authorities, ferries and the many workers directly employed in that area.
Der med menes naturligvis alle kulturelle foranstaltninger. ger.
I put that to the rapporteurs and thank them for their outstanding work in this field in recent months.
Beumer (PPE), formand for Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik. — (NL) Hr. for mand, jeg vil allerførst på min gruppes vegne takke ordførerne hr. Patterson, hr. Metten og hr. Colom i Naval.
CHRISTIANSEN (S). — (DA) Mr President, there was no agreement yesterday about common Community rates of VAT and so we must continue the debate here today after all.
Vi vil i det store og hele støtte deres arbejde.
It is all the more important to do so in view of recent positive trends in thinking on tax harmonization.
Det drejer sig her om en af de vanskeligste sager, som vi har at gøre med inden for rammerne af det indre marked.
We have now achieved respect for the individual countries' need to protect their revenue.
Det drejer sig egentlig om spørgsmålet: I hvilket omfang og hvordan kræver afskaffelsen af de afgiftsmæssige grænser konvergens eller har monisering på det afgiftsmæssige område?
The Danish State's revenue is based to a very considerable extent, as is well known, on taxation, but also on the view that taxation can put a brake on undesirable consumption and that therefore both health and social policy may be pursued by means of taxation.
Det fore kommer mig at være godt, at vi lige tænker tilbage på Kommissionens udgangspunkter, nemlig ingen konkurrencefordrejning, afgiftsmæssige foranstaltninger, forskydning af handelsstrømmene og frem for alt ingen foranstaltninger, som befordrer svig.
We have absolutely no wish to change that and I think I can see too that our partners in the Community are increasingly interested in following the Danish path on taxation.
Vi bliver nødt til at blive enige om strukturer af og satser for merværdi- og forbrugsafgifter, fordi leve rancer og ydelser belægges med for forskellige afgifter i EF.
LULLING (PPE). — (FR) Mr President, the report presented to us on approximation of VAT rates has been substantially superseded by events.
Jeg vil udtrykkeligt gå imod den britiske regerings forslag: Jeg anser dem for ansvarsløse i europæisk sammenhæng, for at overlade denne til nærmelse til kræfternes frie spil på markedet betyder accept af konkurrenceforvridning, afgiftsunddragelse og bortfald af indtægter. Det må ikke ske i Det Europæiske Fællesskabs navn.
Those who in recent years have persistently opposed the Com mission's inclinations towards uniformization, given that the large single market can function perfectly well with variable levels of direct and indirect taxation, have gained the upper hand in the Council, which has fortunately turned towards a compromise proposed by the Luxembourg presidency to take account of the specific situations of all member countries.
Vi var ikke så glade for den første beslutningsproces i Rådet for så vidt angår anvendelsen af princippet om oprindelseslandet inden for rammerne af moms opkrævningen.
Given that scarcely 2% of intraCommunity trade would require harmonization by the Community to avoid distortions, the fanatical desire to bring about fiscal harmonization in all directions which we still see in certain quarters augurs ill for a constructive contribution by this Parliament to the question.
Jeg håber, at de tyske forslag, som passer til Europa-Parlamentets og også min gruppes opfattelse, alligevel kan accepteres, og at vi i hvert fald har tilstrækkelige nye oplysninger til definitive beslutninger inden 1996.
We must guard against accusations that we suffer from a neurotic fiscal obsession or from a rare form of megalomania because we wish to impose a process of fiscal harmonization that would border on the ridiculous.
Jeg ville gerne spørge Kommissionen, hvordan den i øjeblikket betragter statusen over sine egne forslag, og også om den vil fremlægge nye forslag f.eks. med hensyn til momsen, hvor forslagene synes at blive ændret temmelig meget.
It looks, too, as though the principle of subsidiarity is coming to be accepted in this field, and we welcome that too.
Min gruppe synes, at momsforslaget fra Økonomi udvalget er overskueligt og logisk, således som det er udformet i hr. Mettens betænkning.
Then there remains the problem of getting rid of the special forms of trading which our varying rates of taxation have led to, taxfree and dutyfree sales.
Desuden er der med dette forslag tilstrækkelige muligheder tilbage for medlemsstaterne for at vælge mellem en højere eller en lavere sats.
But, as people have been quick to point out, that trade amounts to barely 2 or 3% of intraCommunity trade.
Det forekommer mig dog vigtigt, at listen over valgmulighederne fortsat er begrænset.
I can tell you from experience that apart from excise duties, different rates of VAT have neither discouraged nor encouraged trade in the border regions.
Forslaget tager i sin helhed hensyn til både statskassen, når jeg ser på indtægtssiden, og til forbrugerne, navnlig forbrugere med beskedne midler, og desuden også til fleksibilitet for medlemsstaterne.
Danish Social-Democratic Members of Parliament cannot understand why travellers between our countries should continue to be allowed to make taxfree purchases.
Derfor synes vi, at dette forslag er logisk, overskueligt og også enkelt, og derfor vil vi støtte det.
There is simply no reasonable argument for keeping dutyfree sales at airports, on ships or on aircraft, apart from the fact that it provides income for the owners of the airport, for example.
For øvrigt vil vi ikke modsætte os en standardsats på 15%, og vi holder os til forslagene fra den økonomiske betænkning for så vidt angår den reducerede sats på 0-9%.
But that income in no way counters the loss to the individual states, and part from the fact that that trade is unreasonable and benefits the few, it results in a loss of tax and a long list of disadvantages and disparities for citizens.
Det er der allerede gjort tilstrækkeligt rede for.
We therefore oppose these sales.
Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik har foreslået.
Lastly, we know that the essence of the debate has turned on the normal rate.
Hr. Metten har forklaret, hvordan den virker. Denne ordning går ud på, at der skal gælde en reduceret sats for et begrænset antal varer og tjene steydelser, og foreslår samtidig en kategori varer og tjenesteydelser, hvor det ikke er nødvendigt at har monisere, og som medlemsstaterne efter eget valg frit kan beskatte dels med den reducerede sats, dels med normalsatsen.
In that regard, I think we should stick to the 15% rate requested in an amendment by my colleague Mr Donnelly, rather than to the proposal in the Metten report.
Det forekommer mig derfor for eksempel at være helt centralt, at kulturelle varer og tjenesteydelser, og i særdeleshed værker af digtere, komponister, malere, skulptører og andre skabende, samt oversættere, fortsat kan nyde godt af den reducerede sats i de lande, som allerede har den.
BOCKLET (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of taxes is not simply to provide the state with the resources necessary to allow it to meet its responsibilities; they also represent an important means of guiding the conduct of citizens.
Når det gælder en snæver definition af de andre varer og tjenesteydelser, som jeg ligeledes forestiller mig i den valgfri kategori, må jeg naturligvis henvise til betænkningen fra Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik.
The harmonization of excise duties on mineral oils offers a good opportunity of encouraging the use of a fuel more environmentally friendly than mineral oil itself.
Jeg ville dog gerne have at vide, hvornår Kommissionen kommer med nærmere forslag om en eventuel energiafgift.
There is no question but that the use of biodiesel does not place an balance and is therefore additional burden on the C02
Jeg forventer, at der opstår store pro blemer, det siger jeg allerede nu, med hensyn til afgifterne på tobak og alkohol.
ZAVVOS (PPE). — (GR) Mr President, the harmonization of the taxation systems of Member States constitutes perhaps the most controversial task on the path to the single market of 1993.
Jeg er bange for, at selv meget store afstande ikke vil opveje de store prisforskelle, som vil opstå, bl.a. som følge af den store forskel i afgifter.
However, at the same time it is possibly one of the most significant, because only the abolition of fiscal frontiers will truly ensure completion of the internal market.
Jeg tror således ikke, at Kommissionen vil kunne slippe for at arbejde uden bonded warehouses, således som hr. Patterson også allerede med rette sagde. Vi deler hans mening på dette punkt.
If, for whatever reason, this process is called into question, then it is possible that we may see the efforts we have made in all other areas of European union largely vitiated.
Jepsen (ED). — Hr. formand, hovedkonklusionen i den betænkning, som hr. Patterson i dag har frem lagt på Økonomi- og Valutaudvalgets vegne er, at ophævelsen af kontrollen ved EF's indre grænser ikke vil nødvendiggøre den form for momsharmonisering, som Kommissionen oprindelig foreslog.
better tolerated by the environment than mineral oil. If we take this view, however, then we should also have the courage to create, in conjunction with harmonization of excise duties on mineral oils at European level, an incentive benefiting all those who use an oil more environmentally-benign than mineral oil.
Det handler nemlig om indførelsen af en gradueret moms i alle EF's medlemslande med to momsbånd.
With that in mind, I would ask for your support for the relevant motions tabled by the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development.
Med hensyn til den afgiftsfrie ordning har jeg lige en sidste bemærkning i forbindelse med Pattersonbetænkningen.
For this reason, Mr President, with this in mind, we must call on the Council of Ministers, and in particular on certain Governments which are being obstructive, to take the necessary decisions this month.
de Donnea (LDR). — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil koncentrere mine bemærkninger omkring spørgsmålet om en tilnærmelse af momssatserne.
FAYOT (S). — (FR) Mr President, the long debates on harmonization of VAT and excise duties have at least had the merit of bringing out the essentials.
Det er faktisk det eneste af de kommissionsforslag, vi drøfter i dag, der giver mig anledning til principielle politiske bemærkninger.
The objective is not to harmonize, but to abolish fiscal frontiers, that is, to harmonize only to the extent that the internal market so requires, as stated in Article 17 of the Single Act.
