European Parliament
Van den Berg (PSE ),

(NL)
One of the reasons why the Dutch Labour Party delegation voted against this report is the absence of a tax compromise. The Dutch Labour Party delegation hopes that the Council will soon be prepared to negotiate and to examine the willingness in the EP to incorporate a facility for additional national taxes and to regulate with effect from 2004. The Dutch Labour Party delegation hopes that a Statute for Members for which it can vote does nonetheless come about.
