lpv:translated text	"I initiated this resolution, together with other colleagues from other political groups, to raise the issue of inconsistency between the VAT regulations applied to products with cultural content sold on physical media and in electronic format. The EU has adopted the Digital Agenda and it is our ambition to develop a digital single market. I welcome this step, which is in keeping with the behaviour trends among European consumers who are increasingly buying products with cultural content (music, newspapers and magazines, books and so on) from the Internet. At a time when Member States have the chance to apply a lower VAT rate to cultural products on physical media, the aim being to promote access to these products, I do not see why the same products sold online would be treated differently, given that the aim is exactly the same. Therefore, we are dealing with an aspect of the VAT Directive which is obsolete, in view of the new consumption trends. This is why I support the review of the directive so as to introduce equal fiscal treatment for these products, regardless of how they are sold. Such a move, along with copyright reform and facilitating the free movement of online audio-visual content, will help create a genuine digital single market."@en1
