Question for written answer E-002380-14
to the Commission
Rule 117
Kay Swinburne (ECR)

It has recently been brought to my attention by a constituent that the Greek Government intends to introduce a tax which will be levied on leisure craft over 7m LOA (length overall) which sail, moor or anchor in Greek waters.

Is the Commission aware of the Greek Government’s intention to levy such a tax?

Does the Commission consider such a tax to be in accordance with all relevant aspects of EC law, in particular with regard to maintaining the fundamental principles of free movement of goods or persons?
