EC Spox: Hungary’s Internet Tax “Bad Direction”
- 28 Oct 2014 3:00 AM
Hungary is behind the EU average concerning digital penetration and levying a tax on internet use would point to “a bad direction” and would further hold back online data traffic, the spokesman of outgoing EC commissioner for digital agenda Neelie Kroes said on Tuesday.
Talking to journalists in Brussels, Ryan Heath said that it was the digital economy which could help Europe out of the crisis.
Last week, Kroes in a twitter message labelled Hungary’s planned tax “a disgrace” and later called for protest against the proposal.
