lpv:translated text	"This is a report on the future of value-added tax (VAT), which calls on the Member States to agree by January 2012 on a list of common goods and services that should benefit from tax exemptions or a reduction in the VAT rate. It calls for a coordinated strategy to improve the fight against tax fraud. It should be noted that the report stresses that VAT fraud is a key priority, given the massive losses incurred by Member States, which it says total EUR 100 billion. It also calls on the Commission and the Member States to consider introducing a Europe-wide VAT exemption threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises. Finally, it calls on the Commission to submit to Parliament and the Council, by the end of 2013, a report comprising a binding list of common goods and services eligible for a reduced VAT rate or an exemption under the VAT Directive, on the basis of the findings of the Member States and the VAT Committee. An attempt at fiscal harmonisation, which we do not support, is underlying all of this, so we voted against."@en1
