lpv:translated text	"The core functions of tax systems are to finance public services, such as education, health care, infrastructure and public transport; to protect public goods, by incentivising the production and consumption of environmentally friendly products, for example; and to reduce social inequalities by ensuring a more equal distribution of income and wealth. However, taxation is still a matter for national, and, in some cases, local sovereignty, so the different structures of the Member States’ tax systems should therefore be respected, meaning Treaty change would be necessary in order for decision making on tax policy to be transferred from national to EU level. Therefore, an increase in scrutiny of budgetary procedures by the Commission should be mirrored by greater democratic scrutiny by the European Parliament."@en1
