The HST scheme is expected to reveal specific tax compliance problems of SMEs hampering them most in their cross-border business, test potential benefits stemming from the project rather than permanently overhaul existing taxation practices.

However, large-scale projects have been or will be completed by 2007: the Øresund fixed link (connecting Sweden and Denmark, completed in 2000), Malpensa airport (Italy, completed in 2001), the Betuwe railway line (linking Rotterdam to the German border, completed in 2007) and the PBKAL project (HST Paris-Brussels/Brussels-Cologne-Amsterdam-London, completed in 2007).

The GST/HST measures include a number of measures designed to ensure competitiveness of Canadian business and products in export markets; important sales tax initiatives for the rental housing sector of significant benefit to builders and purchasers of new residential rental accommodation; three measures designed to improve the operation of the GST/HST in the area of real property; provisions regarding health and education that build on the government's commitment to provide access to quality health care and education; and recognition of the important role played by charities by amending the GST/HST legislation to ensure it properly reflects the governme ...[+++]nt's intended policy of generally exempting from sales tax the registry of real property and related goods by charities.

Railway interoperability: trans-European HSTs now at cruising speed.

Preparatory action is underway involving feasibility studies and pilot projects costing 22 million ecus in the domains of EURO-ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network, involving health care, teleworking, education, applications for small and medium-sized enterprises and desktop/multimedia services. Following a mandate from the Essen European Council in December last year, the Commission has established a high level group to define the criteria for the setting up of environmental networks. The idea is for member states to join in developing projects of common interest for environmental protection or improvement such as waste management or water policy. In terms of the transport networks, assessing the progress of the 14 priority projects is ...[+++] complicated by the fact that these are long-term infrastructure projects, necessarily cross-border: it may be that there is substantial progress in one section of a project and no action elsewhere. Establishing the proper legal framework for the TENs has been greatly hampered by disagreement between Member States and the European Parliament as to whether to include the priority projects as agreed at Essen and an article on the need for environmental assessments - to which the Commission is committed. Of greater long term concern to the Commission is the perceived reluctance of national governments to adapt their national priorities to building the TENs network. While welcoming the potential benefits - competitiveness, job creation and economic cohesion - many countries behave as if construction and funding are the job of someone else. This is reflected in terms of slow progress in defining projects (eg. the Munich-Verona ie.Brenner), conflicting scheduling on the part of national authorities either side of a border (eg. PBKAL, HST-East), failure to resolve financing questions (eg PBKAL, Brenner, HST-East) and inability to from multinational project authorities to co- ordinate work on projects (eg. PBKAL, Brenner).
