lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this resolution because the financial and economic crisis has severely damaged economic growth opportunities, and the digital economy has the potential to contribute significantly to the prosperity of Europe in the years to come. The European Union must fulfil the potential of the single market by facilitating online and cross-border trade among Member States. The European Parliament calls on the Commission to consider the possibility of reviewing Directive 2008/8/EC before 1 January 2015 in order to provide for payment of VAT in the customer’s Member State. Furthermore, a review of VAT legislation, giving more flexibility to Member States on reduced VAT rates, should go hand in hand with the application of the principles laid down in Directive 2008/8/EC. In order to enable all Member States to benefit equally from the digital single market, the principle of taxation in the customer’s Member State should apply as soon as possible. The European Union must therefore be ambitious and go beyond remedying the inconsistencies of the current legal framework. Encouraging companies to develop and offer new pan-European online services should also be a priority in the review of VAT rules."@en1
