lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the House has debated the problems associated with the demographic shortfall threatening Europe on many occasions, that is to say, we have discussed the consequent social problems. At the same time, VAT on children’s goods in the European Union is charged at the basic rate, in other words, at the highest possible rate. Children's goods were subject to a special lower rate in Poland before my country joined the Union. One of the legal implications of Poland's entry into the Union unfortunately involved raising the VAT rate on children's goods, which ran counter to the family-orientated policy adopted by Poland. I call on the European Commission to consider amending the relevant provisions for the benefit of all Member States of the Union, and in particular for the benefit of the poorest families bringing up children. This would help us all to implement the Lisbon Strategy."@en1
