Because MEPs live in, and represent, their Member States, tax should, in the future too, be deducted on a national basis in order to take account of the cost of living and of social insurance systems in different countries.
Beskatningen bør også fremover være national for at tage hensyn til leveomkostningerne og de sociale sikringssystemer i de forskellige lande, eftersom medlemmerne bor i og repræsenterer deres medlemsstater.
