lpv:translated text	"This report returns to us, having been referred to a parliamentary committee, which shows how untimely the Commission’s proposal is. The Hunting, Fishing, Nature and Traditions members of the Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities retain their original position concerning the postal sector. Because of the specific characteristics of this sector – particularly in France, given the part played by the sector in promoting social and territorial cohesion – we are opposed to any European liberalisation. The amendments proposed are a lesser evil in so far as they permit a degree of adaptability when it comes to the taxation of postal services. That being the case, we do not subscribe to the logic that consists in removing the exemption from VAT, because we cannot be certain how matters will develop in the future, particularly in terms of increases in rates, the widening of the VAT base and the harmful effect upon consumers. We are therefore in favour of rejecting the Commission’s proposal but, contrary to the rapporteur, we are still not registering our support for the internal European market in the postal sector."@en1
