Ladies and gentlemen, I would also like to say that on 10 March 2009 the Council achieved a political agreement that all Member States would have the option, based on a change to Directive 2006/112/EC, to implement permanently reduced VAT rates on a range of labour intensive services, and these are usually services provided by small enterprises, of course.
Doamnelor şi domnilor, aş dori de asemenea să spun că la 10 martie 2009 Consiliul a ajuns la un acord politic conform căruia toate statele membre ar avea opţiunea, bazându-se pe o modificare a Directivei 2006/112/CE, de a aplica permanent o cotă redusă a TVA anumitor servicii care folosesc intensiv forţa de muncă, aceste servicii fiind furnizate de obicei, bineînţeles, de întreprinderile mici.
