lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because it is aimed at overhauling and reforming the current VAT system. I believe that a VAT system should reduce operational costs for users and administrative charges for authorities while combating fraud, which is a considerable burden on public finances and on consumers. The Member States must better implement the measures proposed by the Commission in 2009 to reduce the administrative burdens arising from EU legislation in the area of VAT, notably by reducing the frequency of periodic VAT returns, simplifying the proof required for the VAT export exemption, abolishing ‘nil’ intra-EU sales listings, increasing the use of e-government solutions in line with the Digital Agenda for Europe (in particular, for the electronic submission of VAT returns and lists), abolishing interest and penalty payments on VAT related to errors of form if the individual legal entity has not caused the Member State in question to suffer any shortfall in VAT revenue, and considering the introduction of a single VAT reimbursement procedure, VAT identification number and an electronic storage system for VAT for the whole of the EU. At this stage, the highest priority should be given to addressing the lack of harmonisation and the need to standardise procedures and reduce linguistic barriers, while reducing the system’s vulnerability to fraud. I am convinced that the business community requires clear VAT rules that increase legal certainty and the likelihood of uniform interpretation by Member States."@en1
