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.
Contact him : info@woodcon.nl
We thank you for
your action
Yours
sincerely
