Executive Summary
A review of the European Union duty-free abolition deadline, which could lead to a "limited" extension, is likely following a unanimous vote by the 15 member states at the European Council's summit in Vienna Dec. 12. The resolution asks the European Commission to re-evaluate the deadline of its 1991 decision to abolish duty- and tax-free sales for intra-community travel. The deadline is scheduled to take affect July 1.
