The submission referred to by the Deputy concerns an open Public Consultation process launched by the Commission to obtain the views of the public and business relating to VAT rates. I do not propose to contribute through this public consultation mechanism, as Member States will have ample time to consult in advance of the publication of the proposal and in the subsequent discussions at Council.
