Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Finance his views on whether vehicle registration tax is in compliance with the Treaty of Rome; in particular if he will consider Article 25 of the treaty to be fully complied with as it states that an excise or custom duty cannot be redesignated as a tax; and if he will accept that this may be the case as Ireland was given a derogation under Article 14 on import duty on vehicles up until 31 December 1992 when the vehicle registration tax was introduced; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
