AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted its position on a proposed Council regulation that would give the European Public Prosecutor's Office and the European Anti-Fraud Office access to value added tax information at Union level.

The regulation aims to strengthen the fight against cross-border VAT fraud by establishing direct communication channels between Eurofisc and these two bodies.

Parliament approved the Commission proposal as amended, adding safeguards on data protection, purpose limitation, and data minimisation.

It also calls on the Commission to alter its proposal accordingly and asks the Council to consult Parliament again if it intends to substantially amend the text.
