Tax and duty-free allowances for travellers: temporary derogation to Germany and Austria (amend. Regulation (EC) No 355/94)

The European Parliament adopted the report by Mr Werner LANGEN (PPE, D) on extending the temporary derogation applicable to Germany and Austria. It approved the derogation in question, but called for it to expire on 01.01.2002 rather than 01.01.2003. As from 2002, Austria and Germany should apply the ECU 175 limit which applied throughout the rest of the Community.�
