lpv:translated text	"The inconsistencies in the VAT rules applicable to physical products of cultural content sold in electronic format have long been a matter of concern to the EU. Since the Member States may levy a reduced VAT on cultural products in a physical medium to make these products more affordable, I do not think it right that the same products sold online should be treated differently. We are speaking, that is, of a particular aspect of the VAT Directive that has become completely obsolete in the face of new consumer trends. Hence, it is important that this point be reviewed so that there is no different VAT solely because the same products are sold via different distribution channels. This development, together with the reform of authors’ rights, will facilitate the free circulation of audiovisual material online, thereby helping to create and stimulate a genuine internal market for digital products."@en1
