Since the mortgage market falls within the scope of the free movement of services, I support the creation of an internal market for mortgage lending. I refuse, though, to lend my support to the harmonisation of the system of tax deduction of mortgage interest via a backdoor in Brussels.
Time after time, politicians stress that Europe must look after the core themes and cross-border issues, but this statement by the European Parliament is at odds with that. Most of its Members do not appear bothered about the fact that tax policy is not one of the EU’s competences. That is why the Dutch People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy delegation in the European Parliament deemed it necessary to vote against paragraph 45 of the Purvis report and, indeed, against the report as a whole. I find it regrettable that, since none of the big groups dared apply for a roll-call vote on this matter, the European citizen can only guess how individual MEPs have voted."@en1
