Will the Council outline its strategy aimed at assisting Irish airports, ports, airlines and passenger shipping companies in their efforts to overcome the loss of income resulting from the ending of duty-free and how does it intend to safeguard consumers against higher fares, protect and enhance employment and support vital infrastructure developments which, in the past, were made possible by sales of duty-free goods?

Will the Council undertake to keep the decision on the review and request the Commission to ensure that airports in Objective I areas and Objective I areas in transition are not penalised by the loss of revenue resulting from the ending of duty-free, which inevitably leads to higher prices for consumers, loss of earnings for airlines, shipping companies, ports and airports, and threatens employment for the industries and small firms which have supplied a range of goods to duty-free shops?

Following the ending of duty-free on 30 June 1999, will the Commission outline how the EU will assist Irish airports, ports, airlines and shipping companies to overcome the loss of essential income and will the Commission further outline how it intends to safeguard the consumer from higher travel fares and guarantee employment?

1. Community goods arriving in Greece by sea are required to go through free ports, which deprives them of the benefit of the presumption that they are Community goods. 2. Land consignments of such goods under the T2 internal Community transit procedure or under cover of the TIR carnet are subjected to frontier formalities and checks which are incompatible with the single market. 3. Lorries unloaded from ships which have made a journey within the Community have to present a consignment note for the goods carried. Otherwise the customs authorities draw up a document which has all the characteristics of a customs declaration; this measure ...[+++] is contrary to the transitional VAT arrangements and the harmonized excise duty regime. 4. New Community vehicles intended for purchasers in Greece must be specifically declared: this is contrary to the Sixth VAT Directive. 5. When such new vehicles are definitively brought into Greece, a "customs handling charge" is made, which is a charge having an effect equivalent to customs duty on importation.

Purchases made in duty-free shops: Duty-free shops are shops where no duty is paid and which are located in airports and ports, and on board aircraft and seagoing vessels.
