lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the proposal to approximate the rates of excise duty for alcohol and alcoholic beverages has triggered lively debate and much controversy. This has been partly due to the variety of excise duty rates applied in individual Member States of the Union and partly to fears that those behind the changes are aiming for the Union to gradually take over responsibility for taxes from the Member States. It is alleged that their ultimate aim is a single tax on natural and legal persons. Inclusion of the proposed amendments to Council Directive 92/84/EEC would therefore weaken competition and lead to a reduction in the quality of individual products as well as to increased monopoly of the market by large concerns. In conclusion, this is a more complex problem than it appears to those proposing the amendments. It calls for deeper analysis, discussion and further consultation with the Member States."@en1
