Tax questions are at the heart of the EU's agenda

It evaluates the effectiveness of these instruments with a view to improving the protection of human health and the environment:
Eurostat meddeler, at udgifterne til social sikring pr. person varierer fra 7 725 KKS (købekraftstandarder) i Luxembourg og 6 391 i Danmark til 2 250 i Grækenland.
Eurostat reports that social protection spending per person ranges from 7 725 PPS (Purchasing Power Standards) In Luxembourg and 6 391 in Denmark down to 2 250 in Greece.
I Sverige udgår skatter og sociale sikringsbidrag 54,1 % af BNP, hvilket er mere end i noget andet EU-land.
In terms of the GDP share taken by taxes and contributions, Sweden pays more (54.1 %) than any other EU Member State.
Som procent af BNP i de 15 EU-lande faldt udgifterne til social sikring mellem 1994-95 fra 28,6 % til 28,4 %.
As a percentage of EU15 GDP, social security fell from 28.6% to 28.4% between 1994­95.
I Danmark betales bidragene til social sikring i vidt omfang i form af skatter. Det modsatte er tilfældet i Frankrig, Tyskland og Nederlandene.
In Den­mark taxes substantially outweigh social security contributions; the reverse is true in France, Germany and The Netherlands.
Tallene er imidlertid kun udtryk for tendenser og viser ikke, hvad enkeltpersoner og selskaber faktisk betaler.
However, these figures only indicate trends and do not tell us what individuals and companies actually pay.
I de fleste medlemslande gik størstedelen af udgifterne til
In most Member States, old age and survivors' benefits take the lion's share of social security spending in against a minimum level of corpo­rate income tax as this would be a premature move.
Beskatning af renler og royalties, der betales mellem associerede virksomheder, og statsstøtte af skattemæssig karakter behandles også i rapporten: social sikring i 1995 til alders- og efterladteydelser. Det var i gennem

Nu da euroen stort set er på plads, erkender medlemsstaterne, al det er vigtigt at koordinere skattereglerne.
Now that the euro is virtually in place, governments of all the Mem­ber States recognize the central role of tax coordination.
Det bekræftes i Kommissionens første rapport om direkte beskatning, at forhandlingerne skrider frem, efter at Rådet har vedlaget pakken lil lackling af skadelig skattekonkurrence, og efter at kodeksen for erhvcrvsbeskatning blev vedlaget i december 1997 (EFr C 99,1998).
Negotiations are well under way, confirms the Commission's first report on direct taxation, following the Council's previously adopted package of tax coordinating measures and the code of conduct on company taxa­tion, adopted in December 1997 (OJ C 99, 1998).
Hvad angår medlemsstaternes frygt for, at skatlerne vil blive harmoniseret på EU-plan, har kommissær Mario Monti fastslået, at Kommissionen først og fremmest har til hen sigt at opnå større samordning mellem medlemsstaterne for at bekæmpe skadelig skattekonkurrence.
In addressing the Mem­ber States' fears that taxes would be harmonized at EU level, Commis­sioner Monti stated that 'the Com­mission's main aim was simply to achieve greater coordination between Member States in order to abolish harmful tax competition.'
Det vil medvirke til, al Europas konkurrenceevne globalt forbedres, og det vil fremme oprettelsen af flere arbejdspladser.
This will help improve Europe's ability to compete in the global economy and create more jobs.

Med hensyn til beskatning af renteindtægter fra opsparing forsøger EU al indføre bestemmelser, som vil inddrage nabolande med attraktive støtte ordninger i samarbejdet (f.eks. Schweiz, Andorra, Monaco og Jersey). Kommissionen er dog imod in the EU: Kat: CA-16-98-037-EN-C (+ DE, FR), ± 117 s., 17,50 e.
In the area of taxation on savings, the EU is seeking to intro­duce legislation that would involve the cooperation of neighbouring countries with attractive tax regimes (such as Switzerland, Andorra, Monaco and Jersey).
Fremme af SMV'ernes konkurrenceevne
Vertical restraints
Vertikale begrænsninger
Fostering SME competitiveness
Små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV'er) mangler ofte ressourcer til forskning og teknologisk udvikling eller finder det vanskeligt at få adgang til forskningsresultater.
Small and medium­sized enterprises (SMEs) often lack R & D resources or find it difficult to get access to research results.

The BES /Task foice ­ a group of entrepreneurs, public administrators and academic experts seeking to reduce the administrative burden of EU legislation on Euro­pean business, particularly small and medium­sized enterprises (SMEs) ­ have proposed a series of actions.
Kommissionen kan til slutte sig laskforeens seneste anbefalinger, der er i overensstemmelse med mandatet fra Det Europæiske. Rati i Cardiff og vedrører a) forenkling og lovgivningsreformer på alle niveauer i EU; b) ændring af de administrative procedurer for SMV'er; e) lettelse af oprettelsen af virksomheder på medlemsstatsplan og d) gode informations- og rådgivningstjenester.
The Commission has welcomed the task force's latest recommendations, which are in line with the mandate from the Cardiff European Council: a) Simplifying and reforming public policy at all levels in the EU; b) chang­ing administrative procedures for SMI;.s; c) facilitating the creation of enterprises at Member Siale level, and d) sound information and advice services.
Kommissionens forslag har stor betydning for alle europæiske virksomheder, herunder bryggerier, da de vil kunne indgå mere effektive distributionsaftaler: KOM(1998) 544 endelig udg. Ifølge Kommissionen bør ændringer i de nuværende regler om vertikale aftaler sikre, at forordning nr. 19/65/EØF dækker alle former for vertikale aftaler, især aftaler mellem to eller flere virksomheder, der virker inden for forskellige stadier af den økonomiske proces, om levering eller køb eller både levering og køb af varer bestemt til videresalg eller for arbejdning, eller om markedsføring af tjenesteydelser.
Other actions proposed arc in education and training (e.g. providing education which promotes entrepreneurial spini), employment and working conditions (improving flexi­bility, for example), finance (giving SMFs access to finance at an early stage, or setting up taxation regimes which stimulate the development of dynamic SMEs), and research and innovation (improving access to research results and the EU's RTD program mes, encouraging the use of patents): COM(98)55( > fin. According to the Commission, changes to the current rules on vertical agreements should ensure that the scope of Regu­lation No 19/65/EEC covers all kind of vertical agreements, in particular agreements between two or more undertakings, each operating at a different stage of the economic process, in respect of the supply or pur­chase, or both, of goods for resale or processing, or in respect of the mar­keting of services.
Reglerne skulle således blive mere fleksible: EFT C 365.1998.
Thus the rules should be made more flexible: OJ C 365.1998.
