lpv:translated text	"The issue of transfer of taxes from the Member States to the EU budget has occupied the Union almost since its foundation. This regulation proposes a specific method which the Member States must use to calculate this new VAT resource and to determine the procedures for transferring it to the EU budget. According to the proposal, the new VAT own resource of the European Union is based on the percentage of VAT on goods and services offered, acquisitions and imports which are subject to a standard rate of VAT in each Member State. This ensures greater transparency and a reduced need for corrections to the VAT base. Nevertheless, the complicated method of calculation is still there, and today a question mark still hangs over the question of paying the tax directly into the EU budget without the need for it to be collected first by the national authorities. For this reason, I voted in favour of this report, which embraces the Commission’s positive proposals while at the same time highlighting the shortcomings and the further action and initiatives that need to be taken."@en1
