lpv:translated text	"Four years of reduced rates of VAT do not allow us to see the complete effects of this experiment; all the more since, knowing that it was temporary, some employers did not implement it. All the industries consulted, however, claim that lowering VAT has positive economic effects that are by no means insignificant. In this way, the number of wage earners working in the housing maintenance sector has increased in France by 8.6% in two years. This is why we need to continue down this route. As draftsman, I can only welcome the Commission text and, in particular, Annex H, extending Annex K to some services, such as catering. Since each Member State freely chooses to apply a reduced rate in a category appearing in Annex H, all sectors that benefited from the experiment must not now be excluded from the scope of the directive. This is why I voted in favour of the amendments by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. Furthermore, Amendments Nos 22 and 23 that I tabled with Astrid Lulling for the part-session are extremely important; indeed they allow for the experiment to be extended until the current changes to the directive come into force, which is absolutely necessary in order to avoid disastrous consequences in terms of jobs."@en1
