".
This Commission proposal is intended to remove the VAT exemption granted to public postal service providers. Its adoption would have an impact, not only on these providers themselves, but also on consumers and would result, in particular, in higher prices for the services provided. Furthermore, this proposal should be seen against the backdrop of the current wave of liberalisation of postal services taking place at Community level and related to the creation of a common VAT system. It should be recalled that, although Parliament rejected this proposal for a directive on 18 December 2003, the Commission has insisted on retaining the proposal.
The rapporteur tabled various compromise amendments to the directive but, although they were intended to soften its impact, they sought to ensure its adoption without calling into question the logic of the VAT system or of the directive on liberalisation."@en1
