"I share the sentiments of my colleagues who advocate the need to reform the VAT system, which puts Member States in a difficult situation due to the way in which it is regulated and defined at the moment. In my country, Romania, the VAT rate is one of the highest in the European Union, and there has still been no differentiation agreed for certain categories of goods or products. This is why I support the request submitted to the Commission to provide Parliament and the Council with a mandatory list of goods and services which may be subject to a reduced rate or exemption, in line with the VAT Directive.
I believe that it is just as important to harmonise administrative practices and cut red tape. By this I mean doing away with some of the annual returns, reducing the frequency of regular returns, simplifying the proof required for a VAT export exemption, and creating the future Standard European Invoice. I hope that we will have serious consultations with companies and entrepreneurs throughout this entire process and achieve results. Please God!"@en1
