The European Commission presented a proposal on 28 January 2004 to amend the Energy Tax Directive so as to allow the EU accession countries temporarily to apply excise duty exemptions or lower rates of duty than the EU-wide minimum rates normally required on all energy products (mineral oils, coal, natural gas) and electricity. The varying arrangements proposed cover all the accession countries except Cyprus, which has not requested any measures in addition to those which it was granted under the Treaty of Accession. |
