lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am in favour of allowing Member States to apply harmonised reduced VAT rates on a permanent basis for certain services of social interest and labour-intensive, locally supplied services. Measures of this kind are noted for providing citizens with greater purchasing power, improving the environment for SMEs and increasing their productivity, and strengthening the formal economy. At this time of recession this can stimulate recovery, growth and jobs. It will be beneficial to extend the reduced rates to babies’ nappies and equipment for people with disabilities, electronic books, environmental sewerage and recycling works, as well as all housing, places of worship and cultural and artistic heritage, restaurants, gardening and personal care services. For this reason, while awaiting the next energy efficiency package, I support Mrs van den Burg’s report and trust that next month political agreement will be reached that will enable it to be implemented as soon as possible."@en1
