TAXATION SYSTEMS AND CUSTOMS IN THE COMMUNITY
(9500/06, 9609/06)
Letter from the Chairman to Rt Hon Dawn
Primarolo MP, Paymaster General, HM Treasury
Thank you for your Explanatory Memoranda EM
9500/06 and EM 9609/06 dated 6 and 8 June 2006 which Sub-Committe
A (Economic and Financial Affairs and International Trade) considered
at their meeting on 18 July 2006. The Committe decided to clear
this document from scrutiny.
On the legal base, we are puzzled by your view
that tax legislation should be handled using a legal base which
requires unanimity in the Council. We would appreciate more details
of your analysis of the use of Article 95 together with your reasons
for requiring unanimity voting on programmes designed to further
administrative co-operation.
