The directive will improve collection of VAT on imported goods by ensuring suppliers are always liable for VAT paid on imports, rather than the EU consumer as is currently usual practice. This should encourage suppliers outside the EU to use the VAT import one-stop-shop (IOSS) for VAT reporting and collection.
Import one-stop-shop (IOSS)
The already-existing IOSS serves as a point of contact for importers of goods from third countries...

We take note of the letter sent by U.S. President Trump outlining a revised tariff rate and a new timeline.

Introductory statement by Piero Cipollone, Member of the Executive Board of the ECB, at the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs of the European Parliament
Thank you for inviting me to take part in this exchange of views. I would like to talk about why we need the digital euro – and the cost of not pursuing it.
