EUO / SICPA : New tender for ALL the 28 EU States:



Other legislation which covers the taxation of energy products includes:

Council Directive 95/60/ECon fiscal marking of gas oils and kerosene. This Directive provides a common marking system to identify gas oil and kerosene subject to a reduced excise rate e.g. mineral oils used as propellants. The aim of this marking is to prevent tax evasion and ensure the proper functioning of the internal market. The rules are without prejudice to national provisions on fiscal marking.

Commission Decision 2011/544/EC establishes Solvent Yellow 124 as the common fiscal marker and fixes the marking level of at least 6 mg and not more than 9 mg of marker per litre of mineral oil.

A 2004 Commission studylooked at how to establish a harmonised Community reference method of analysis for the Euromarker (Solvent Yellow 124) for laboratory tests. Member States agreed to use it as a common reference method in their analyses. This method has improved the comparability of the results of tests carried out by different Member States.

? ? On 11 September 2015 the Commission launched a Call for expression of interest in order to identify a substance suitable for use as a fiscal marker in gas oil and kerosene which performs better than Solvent Yellow 124.
