Good morning everybody, and thank you for coming. I think we can start this meeting. Thank you. So, we have language interpretation as usual in 12 languages, so thank you to our interpreters. We do have as usual all the documents updated on the FISC website, and the work of today is webstreamed on the European Parliament website.

We start this hearing. Before starting this, let me ask you to adopt the agenda, and if there are no objections, the agenda is adopted. And let's go straightforward to the public hearing today on the closing the loop how taxation can drive the circular economy. This is a very important issue. The European Union in the last year has been very much involved in a transition, which today will be declined on the sense, in the sense of, in the relation at least, between the circular economy and the impact of tax, on tax, what taxation can do to drive the circular economy.

For this purpose, we do have three distinguished guests and speakers. Thank you for that. We do have Dr. Stefanie Geringer, VAT expert and Schrödinger fellow at Austrian Science Fund. We do have Mme. Valentini Wihlman, senior policy advisor sustainable development at the SMEunited, Small and Medium United Enterprise. And then we have Mr. Marco Musso, deputy policy manager for circular economy and fiscal reform at European Environmental Bureau.

Today, we will discuss whether the existing tax framework creates obstacle to reuse and to waste reduction. We will discuss how taxation could incentivise more circular business model, and finally, we will discuss how such measures could be designed while taking into account their implications for business. Today hearing come in the context of the European Commission forthcoming Circular Economy Act. We do have the Commission as well here, which is scheduled to be published on the 18th of November, which is coming, and it is expected to include tax-related measures. As usual, speakers, let me say that you have seven minutes each for your introductory remark, but this is not the whole space that you have.
