lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour because I agree with this report’s call for a Europe-wide lower rate for some goods and services. It calls on the Member States to agree by the start of next year on a common list of goods and services that should enjoy tax exemptions or lower value-added tax (VAT) rates. At the same time, it calls on the Commission to confirm this as mandatory by the end of 2013. It also calls on the Commission and Member States to consider introducing a Europe-wide VAT exemption threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises. The large majority who voted for this report are in favour of the Member States moving towards a ‘broad-based’ VAT system, and of further narrowing the standard-rate band. I also agree with the various recommendations on VAT design, reducing red tape and the efficiency of VAT collection."@en1
