EU Calls on Poland and Finland to Change Legislation

The European Commission is calling on Poland and Finland to modify their respective legislation with regard to heavy goods vehicles.

In Poland, second hand vehicles imported from other Member States are taxed at a higher rate than those from within the country. The Commission says this infringes on Article 90 of the EEC treaty.

In the case of Finland, an equally discriminatory 'permission tax' is applied to imported vehicles and leased vehicles from other Member States.
