Commissioner for Single Market to present gov't with latest "must do" list
The list of accusations consists of ten items, including the reduction of VAT rates for the Internet, taxes on used imported cars, restrictions on advertising alcohol and laws concerning the protection of intellectual property rights. Today, one of the most important EU Commissioners, Fritz Bolkestein, who is responsible for the single market, is coming to Poland to present the list to the government. May 1 is the deadline for Poland to meet the EC's demands. If it fails to comply, it may be sued by the Commission and the discriminated European producers will be entitled to demand compensation.
