EAGGF, agricultural levies, custom duties, VAT, excise duties: recovery of claims (amend. direct. 76/308/EEC)

The European Parliament approved the resolution drafted by Mr Salvador GARRIGA POLLEDO (EPP/ED, E). It maintained its position at first reading relating to a change in the legal base with regard to taking action to the recovery of funds. The Parliament disputes the appropriateness of the new legal basis proposed by the Council. The Parliament insists that Article 95 of the EC Treaty is the appropriate legal basis. Therefore it calls on the Commission to forward its common position to it.�
