lpv:translated text	"The rapporteur, Mrs Lulling, strongly criticised the taxation of alcohol in Finland in her report, which she considers to be unreasonably high. She also criticised the aim to restrict the importation of beer through derogation provisions. In my opinion, the Commission’s proposal is a rather good compromise, however. According to that proposal, Finland would reserve the right to abolish the more stringent restrictions on imports from EU countries in stages by the end of 2003. Imports of beer from non-member countries such as Russia and Estonia would be limited to six litres up to the year 2006. Nowhere else on the EU’s external borders is such cheap alcohol available than in those regions that border onto Finland. In my opinion, Finland is consequently justified in maintaining more stringent restrictions on imports than other EU countries. Under the Treaty of Amsterdam, Internal Market policy also has to take into account considerations of public health and environmental protection. Derogations with regard to Community legislation must be allowed if they are made on the basis of higher levels of health protection."@en1
