"Regrettably, we were unable to support this report for a number of reasons. While the report contains several positive aspects in relation to red tape and tax fraud, we were unable to support the report as we fundamentally believe that Member States must retain flexibility in relation to taxation matters. The continuing availability of zero and reduced rates remains an important and sensitive issue for many Member States, including Ireland. Derogations and exemptions are essential, particularly in the transport area. In terms of the legal process, unanimity must be the basis for decision making on all fiscal matters including VAT. This is consistent with the Lisbon Treaty and the protocols agreed to following the second referendum in Ireland."@en1
