Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 35 – point a a (new)

aa. promotion of innovative sales options for the purchase of actual automobile user rights other than ownership; (It is necessary to go beyond the traditional notion of car ownership and encourage car sharing or joint ownership schemes, enabling individuals to make use of different vehicles without, however, being required to pay taxes on the ownership of each.)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 35 – point a b (new)

ab. envisaging a system of taxation relating principally not to the vehicle but to the individual and to actual vehicle usage; (The aim is to encourage the purchase of new automobiles by less frequent users also by shifting taxation from ownership alone to vehicle usage. For example, automobile taxes such as road tax, which is levied in many Member States, as well as insurance premiums, would relate to individuals rather than vehicles, leading to fairer arrangements. It is only by lowering taxes and cutting the bureaucracy surrounding the purchase of automobiles that the market can be stimulated.)

Proposal for a regulation
Article 8 – paragraph 5

5. Where a payment device offers the choice between different brands of payment instruments, the brand applied to the payment transaction at issue shall be determined by the payer at the point of sale, unless the payment speed is crucial, or the payment itself is done in circumstances where the transaction does not require the cardholder verification (e.g. PIN) or where terminals do not have the keyboard (or equivalent tool) to make the selection.
