lpv:translated text	"− This report on the common system of value added tax and the duration of the obligation to respect the minimum standard rate is only to be welcomed. It will fix the minimum standard rate at 15% up to the end of 2015. While the European Commission repeatedly proposed introducing a maximum rate of 25%, the European Council did not support this. At the same time, the standard rate does not currently exceed 25% in any Member State. Estonia, where the standard rate of VAT is 20%, is among the 19 Member States where the rate is 20% or more. Regarding this aspect, I wish to point out that I strongly supported the extension of the 15% minimum rate, which will give every Member State the option to decide how high its rate should be. In addition, this report ensures legal certainty for our entrepreneurs, who will know that for the next five years, European legislation will prevent the standard rate of VAT from rising."@en1
