lpv:translated text	"Last year, the Commission proposed an economic recovery plan which is proving to be very difficult to implement. Member States and their governments must be proactive, especially during this crisis. Member States can apply reduced VAT rates to the provision of natural gas and electricity, heating or cooling systems, to children’s clothing and footwear, to books, newspapers and magazines, pharmaceutical products and medical equipment for the disabled, as well as to restaurant services. It only requires vision and political will. The building sector has the largest number of jobs. I strongly support the need to allow Member States to apply reduced VAT rates to renovation and repair works aimed at boosting energy saving and energy efficiency. As rapporteur for the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, I even proposed reduced VAT rates for products in the energy efficiency and renewable energy sector as well. I support the rapporteur’s proposal and I believe that this measure is particularly important, especially during the current crisis."@en1
