"I voted for this resolution because we are currently facing at EU level certain problems in the process of creating a digital single market. These are due to technological, legislative, cultural and linguistic barriers, as well as to consumption taxes which are applied to goods and services. All of this generates an increasingly fragmented market at Member State level, which may jeopardise achieving our common objectives. I think that the European Union must allow, at least temporarily, for a lower VAT rate to be applied to services with cultural content supplied electronically. This means that European citizens will enjoy more affordable prices for certain online products and services, which would bolster this sector and increase the EU’s competitiveness in this area. At the same time, providing easier access to cultural products available online would help reduce the high levels of piracy noted in this sector, as well as the financial losses suffered by certain producers or providers."@en1
