Madam, Monsieur,

 

 

 

We are a small Limited Comagny wich works upon Raw Vegetable Oils (R.V.O).

We send you a document that we have already send to all french deputies in June just as to all french Chambers of Agriculture in October.

 

As you will see,this document (in french) develops an analysis about the channel of R.V.O. which represents a possible development of bio-fuels and at the same time a remainder of food rich in proteins.

This channel is quite attrative for the agricultural development (which has a great deficit) because it can be controlled by the oleaginous producers themselves. Only three simple handlings are necessary (grinding – decanting – filtration) to get oil (miscible with diesel oil) straightly used to burning (diesel engine) such as an oil-cake used at once as a complement of food for animals.

 

The proceedings undertaken against our company by the Economy and Finance state office – by way of customs – to compel us to pay the Internal Income upon Mineral (income upon oil products) has resulted by our conviction.

We have appealed at law because the R.V.O. is not a mineral oil product.

 

You must know that in Germany,the actual law exonerates the R.V.O. of this tax because “pure vegetable oils used as motor-fuel are not considered as mineral oils”.

Besides, in order to promote the use of motor fuel resulting of renewable row materials, the Federal Chancellor of the Exchequer has allowed the exemption from taxation for the volume of vegetable oil used in the mixtures of vegetable and mineral oils” (cf: the official explanation of the Chancellor of Exchequer to the Bundestag on the 30/06/97 ref 13/7975.

 

Yet, we have just heard that a motion of the European Concil n° COM (2001) 547 on the 7/11/2001 is on the point of beeing put. In a very anodyne manner, it proposes to include in the definition of “mineral oils” (art2 rule 92/81/CEE) “ the energizing products belonging to codes NC1507 to 1518, when they are used as motor-fuel or as fuel”.Thus, the R.V.O. (code NC1512) would become with all the other vegetable oils liable to a taxation.

And the other dispositions considered for its exemption from taxation would exclude the small producers, but would keep this exemption only for the big mineral oil trusts.

 

So, we request of your part a rapid action to:

 

 

It’s Hein Aberson who warned us about this subject; He’s in contact with German, Danish, Belgian and Dutch to organize a common action what we invite you to join.

We thank you for your action

 

Yours sincerely
