"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the work carried out by Mr Casa in this report is highly relevant. It was important to state the position of the European Parliament in the process of reforming the value-added tax (VAT) system, and I believe that the strongly underlined objectives of simplification, transparency and harmonisation are truly worthy of support. In particular, with regard to the tools for promoting harmonisation, the report takes into account extremely well the need to safeguard at all times national autonomy and, hence, the full application of the principle of subsidiarity. There are two points I think the Commission needs to consider for its forthcoming engagements. With regard to exemption, it is definitely a good idea to look into exemptions for associations, non-profit making organisations and non-governmental organisations, but in doing so, the Commission will have to take due account of the need to cleanse the system of exemptions that have been misused. Secondly, it is important to work on legal certainty and the reduction of administrative burdens, and on adaptation to innovative technological processes, because this is very useful to businesses and to the market."@en1
