lpv:translated text	"I would like to draw attention to the two amendments that I proposed and that have been approved in the final report. The first proposal states that every country should have the right to apply reduced rates of VAT or, in exceptional circumstances, possibly even zero rates to basic goods and services, such as food and medication, for social and environmental reasons and for the benefit of the consumer. The second proposal states that it should be possible to apply reduced or even zero rates of VAT to goods linked to education, social security and culture. At present, reduced rates of VAT can already be applied to goods linked to education. This amendment reinforces this. I appeal to the Council of Ministers to follow the European Parliament’s policy."@en1
