lpv:spoken text	"I voted for this report, which examines a Commission proposal to extend by 5 years to 31 December 2015 the requirement for EU countries to have a minimum standard VAT rate of 15%. This is desirable in normal times, but in the present economic crisis, it is even more necessary. Tax competition that drove down VAT rates would be ruinous for countries trying to maintain an acceptable level of public services."@en1
