lpv:translated text	"Madam President, unlike Mrs Lulling, I do believe this proposal to be a valid one. Surely it is the case that whoever wants to practise good governance should not only draft appropriate laws, but should also ensure that these are complied with. And if we notice that Member States are unable to do this, then we should help them where we can. Incidentally, in Belgium, we are all too familiar with this. We have had monetary union with Luxembourg for years, and it has effectively encouraged cross border payment transactions aimed at avoiding tax on moveable goods. The citizens are all too keen to forget that they have to declare the income derived from moveables from another country to the tax administration of their own country. It can therefore do no harm to give them a helping hand. Ultimately, this can help prevent tax erosion and allows for a more naturally functioning internal market. It has always appeared judicious to me to set matters straight in this area, primarily within the internal market, and without necessarily making it subject to agreements with third countries. However, if I have understood the conclusions of Feira correctly, this is a stipulation which the Council does want to put in place. When I read the Commission proposal, it once again fails to state this in the text which normally should reflect the agreement of Feira. This is why I should like to ask the Commissioner once more what, in his opinion, are the advantages and disadvantages of including this stipulation, and I should also like to ask him if he could once again inform us of the current state of affairs in the negotiations involving third countries. Parliament would be interested to know whether these are promising, when they are likely to be concluded and how we should couple the timing of the implementation of this proposal with the results of these negotiations."@en1
