"We have voted against Amendment No 13, which was submitted by Olle Schmidt. The conclusion he draws from the fact that the USA has exempted e-commerce from VAT for five years is that the EU should do likewise. This is a conspicuously weak conclusion.
There is no reason to give tax advantages to a particular form of distribution. Moreover, such adaptation to conditions in the USA would undoubtedly make it more difficult for us to achieve a normal level of tax in both the USA and Europe five years down the line.
Moreover, we must break the tendency to import American incongruities into Europe in this area as in other areas."@en1
