".
I find myself in concurrence with the points that the honourable Member raises. I can assure you that when serving as a British minister with responsibilities for the Postal Services Directive, these were points that were made very vocally to me by the Communication Workers Union, never mind by the Royal Mail and others. So I am aware of the concerns that have been expressed in a number of Member States in terms of the relative liberalisation of the markets that has taken place and indeed the extent of openness within markets at the present time.
In relation to the specific point on VAT and regulatory asymmetry, the Commission has proposed amending the relative VAT Directive. The Council has not yet reached agreement on the proposal and understands that the Commission is currently exploring ways of achieving a common interpretation of the current framework. In that regard, we await the outcome of those further areas of work."@en1
