Whereas, under the terms of Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from the provisions of that Directive in  order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;
Whereas the United Kingdom was authorized, by Decision 90/497/EEC (2), in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 (1) to (4) of Directive 77/388/EEC, to apply a measure derogating from Article 17 (1) of the said Directive until 31 December  1992;
