"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to thank you for the observations and points of view that you have expressed during this debate. The Commission will take account of the suggestions made by the European Parliament in its current and future legislative proposals. I am pleased to note that the opinions of the European Parliament are similar to those of the Commission with regard to the measures to be taken to improve the fight against VAT fraud within the European Union. I am particularly happy about the widespread support for the main objective of the Commission’s first concrete proposal, namely to accelerate, by January 2010, the gathering and exchange of information concerning intra-community transactions. We have spoken about the impact assessment. The Commission has examined the effects on business costs. It appears that these costs are limited. In order to examine the real effects more precisely, the Commission is ready to produce an evaluation report. The preliminary results of the current assessment, to which you refer, Mrs Stauner, will be known during the course of the coming weeks and will then be validated in cooperation with the Member States. The Commission, I am told, can only accept Amendments 4 and 7 of the report ... Are you therefore unable to accept Amendments 4 and 7 of the report? In fact, we can accept Amendments 4 and 7 of Mr García-Margallo y Marfil’s report. I apologise for proceeding in this way but I am not, as you will have noticed and as you know, the responsible Commissioner, and I am therefore far less expansive on these issues, which are extremely challenging for me, than on others."@en1
