Det er dog min pligt at henlede Deres opmærksomhed på, at tilladelsen til at anvende en nedsat momssats er en foranstaltning, der har at gøre med harmoniseringen af momslovgivningerne, som omtales i Amsterdam-traktatens artikel 93, tidligere artikel 99.
However, it is my duty to draw your attention to the fact that authorisation to apply a reduced rate is a measure concerning harmonisation of legislation on value added tax, which is covered by Article 93 of the Amsterdam Treaty, the former Article 99.
