"Question No 33 by Ari Vatanen (): In 1998 the Commission asked Finland to amend its system of car and motorcycle taxation. Commission officials have admitted that Finland has in fact failed to remove the discrimination to any significant degree. Most recently, in September 2001, Parliament’s Committee on Petitions received a petition signed by me and 17 000 of my compatriots, demanding an overhaul of the illegal tax regime. Finland has been an EU Member since 1995; when will the Commission take action to force it to toe the line and start implementing single market rules as interpreted by the European Court of Justice? Will the Commission take independent legal action, because waiting for new rulings by the Court of Justice will hardly bring any additional clarity especially after the recent ruling on Portugal (C-393/98)? The tax on removal vehicles also hinders people’s freedom to move within the Community. Will the Commission see to it that this illegality is remedied in the near future?"@en1
