lpv:translated text	"Madam President, as a result of the crisis, numerous Member States have increased their VAT rates, thereby making it an even more important source of revenue for their budgets. Every year, whenever I discuss with my students the movements of information and resources caused by Europe’s VAT system, this is always followed by heated debates about the complexity, burden and evasion which this European VAT system encourages. This is why I give my overwhelming support to the proposals featuring in the report from my colleague, Mr Casa, whose aim is for every Member State to reduce and get rid of, as far as possible, the exceptions, exemptions and reduced VAT rates, which only add to the complexity and administrative burden imposed by this tax. I obviously support the measures for cutting the red tape required to implement this system. However, I have serious reservations about the proposals on granting a blanket exemption to activities carried out by non-profit making, non-governmental organisations since, in many cases, and I do not wish to give any examples at the moment, these organisations are merely involved in covering up tax evasion arising from some of their activities."@en1
