WRITTEN QUESTION No. 519/98 by Ilona GRAENITZ to the Commission. Duty-free shops
Official Journal C 304 , 02/10/1998 P. 0124
WRITTEN QUESTION E-0519/98 by Ilona Graenitz (PSE) to the Commission (2 March 1998) Subject: Duty-free shops The turnover of European duty-free shops amounts to about ATS 60 bn p.a. Intra-Community traffic accounts for more than two thirds of turnover. When the exemption from excise duty ceases, it is feared that, despite the long transitional periods, 300 to 500 jobs in Austria alone will be at risk. Does the Commission have a study of the impact of the abolition of duty-free sales on the labour market? If not, does the Commission intend to have a study of this kind carried out? Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (6 April 1998) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written question P-272/98 by Mrs Danielle Darras ((See page 67. )).
