lpv:spoken text	"My Fine Gael colleagues and I abstained on the Casa report on the future of VAT. We recognise the need to examine the possibilities for achieving a simpler and more efficient VAT system and support, in particular, the proposals to reduce red tape and combat fraud. However; we would be concerned about some of the proposals contained in this report, in particular, on transport. As an island nation, it is crucial that the cost of access to Ireland remains accessible; therefore, the continuing exemption of transport is vital for Ireland’s wellbeing. We also believe that Member States must continue to be afforded discretion in shaping their tax policies in order to meet their individual needs. In this regard, the continuing availability of zero and reduced rates remains an important issue."@en1
