The procedure which began with the publication of the Green Paper on the future of value-added tax (VAT) has to be supported. The need to restructure the system rules out any further delays, as the mechanism introduced on a provisional basis has proved to have numerous shortcomings, particularly with regard to the risk of fraud.
The hope for the future is that a new VAT system, together with the taxation of financial transactions, will, as the Commission claims, become an important own resource for the European budget. In the meantime, we invite the Commission to act quickly and to continue along its chosen path to the end, actively encouraging Member States to put in place all the necessary preliminary conditions in order to avoid multiple and overlapping elements and to allow for smoother bureaucratic procedures and reduced administration costs.
In times of trouble, it is important to devote significant energies to fighting the waste of resources caused by evasion and fraud. Therefore, I support the report by Mr Casa, and hope that in its proposal, the Commission will take due account, above all, of the call to adopt mechanisms to make cross-border fraud control less random, by making optimal use of mechanisms that have already been tried and tested in individual Member States, or by using all the resources made available by the latest technology."@en1
