Mr President, I should like to make some comments on the amendments tabled. A number of the amendments modify or add recitals in order to emphasise the need to create an internal market for excise products also. I can assure you that is the very purpose of the Commission proposal. I feel that is already properly reflected in the recitals.
As to the amendment requesting that the Commission review and assess the ‘indicative limits’, I can only say that the Commission has assessed them in its report. That was the basis for its proposal and it has come to the conclusion that they should no longer appear in EU legislation. For this reason, and as the amendment proposed does not reinsert such indicative limits in the directive either, I do not see the need for the Commission to table another report on this issue.
Lastly, as regards the burden of proof that goods are for private use, the amendment in question seems to place that burden entirely on the administration. The Commission approach on this is somewhat different and would seem to be more neutral. It is for the citizen to provide any explanation or proof concerning the purpose of his transporting the goods in question. It is for the administration to decide on the basis of those elements. As such a decision can always be contested, it should be based on firm grounds."@en1
