Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) The European Parliament, in its resolution of 2 September 2008 on a coordinated strategy to improve the fight against fiscal fraud, stressed once again that the existing system for managing VAT needs a radical overhaul and urged the Commission to submit proposals to harmonise the registration and de- registration procedures for taxable persons and to allow Member States automatic access to non-sensitive data on their taxpayers, which is held by another Member State. In obtaining such access, an appropriate level of protection and limited storage period of the data exchanged and due accountability of the data keeper institution or body, in order to prevent the mismanagement or leakage of the data, should be ensured.
