About More Liberal Voices
More Liberal Voices is a project coordinated by the Lithuanian Free Market Institute (LFMI). Through this project we aspire to advance the liberal agenda in the EU decision-making process and to give an organized voice to liberal solutions by submitting rigorous analysis and responses to some key areas of public policy of the European Union. By pooling together the expert and advocacy capacities of the liberal-minded think-tanks in the 4Liberty network, we seek to multiply the outreach, visibility and impact of these groups in driving liberal policies in the EU agenda

Policy Brief on Posting of Workers in the European Union

More Liberal Voices and LFMI/October 3, 2016October 6, 2016 /Leave a comment

Some old Member States request the principle of “equal pay for equal work in the same place”, meaning that posted workers would not receive lower pay than the minimum wage of the recipient country. During the discussion accusations of social dumping by new Member States with regard to old Member States surfaced.

Excise Taxes in the Czech Republic

Ales Rod and More Liberal Voices/January 6, 2016January 6, 2016 /Leave a comment

Tax rates are a political decision with fiscal impacts. And despite the fact that all voters are influenced by taxes, at least voters who have a strong opinion on the issue of excise duties (e.g. alcohol, tobacco, etc.) affect the election outcome.

Excise Duties on Alcohol in the EU

Peter Bence Stumpf and More Liberal Voices/January 6, 2016January 6, 2016 /Leave a comment

To better understand the need for a change in policy, this article first provides a brief overview of the current legislation and its implementation in member states and then looks at how current proposals for new minimum rates were formed. Finally, it evaluates whether increasing taxes on alcohol is the best course of action.

Deregulation or Death

Zilvinas Silenas, LFMI and More Liberal Voices/December 8, 2015August 29, 2017 /Leave a comment

Let’s be honest. Governments remember deregulation in their talks with businesses or during election campaigns. But they do not pay nearly as much attention to deregulation as they do to expanding regulatory obligations, increasing taxes, or telling people how to behave.

Renewable Energy Market Entry: Barriers and Imperfections

Michal Wach and More Liberal Voices/December 8, 2015 /Leave a comment

The “green mechanism”, which will become actually effective on 1 January 2016, should work. No sooner than next year we shall see, though, whether it will function effectively and meet the expectations of the majority of players.

Cash Payment Restrictions? No Solution to Shadow Economy

Vytautas Zukaukas, LFMI and More Liberal Voices/December 6, 2015August 29, 2017 /Leave a comment

Cash payment restrictions would increase individual and corporate expenses and would cause payment inconveniences. How would one be expected to make larger payments at weekends when interbank transfers are not made? A forced „banking“ of cash reduces competition among payments methods.

Energy: Market or Design?

Zilvinas Silenas, More Liberal Voices and LFMI/December 1, 2015August 29, 2017 /Leave a comment

There are those who view markets as functional (albeit imperfect) tools for economic decisions and those who think markets always fail at this task. Add to that the intricacies of the energy sector, and the discussion about markets in the energy sector becomes an argument between economists and engineers written down by lawyers.

Better Regulation in Poland Needed

Aleksander Laszek and More Liberal Voices/November 22, 2015December 9, 2015 /Leave a comment

A need for deregulation in Poland is recognized by the vast majority of both experts and politicians. Calls for deregulation echo in subsequent election campaigns, though to little effect. So why, despite a seemingly broad consensus, deregulation in Poland remains a problem?

The Effect of Harmonization of Corporate Tax Base in the EU

More Liberal Voices/November 18, 2015November 24, 2015 /Leave a comment

The European Commission has re-launched the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB) initiative. The renewed proposal for a CCCTB introduces a two-step approach: efforts will first concentrate on agreeing the rules for a Common Corporate Tax Base (CCTB), and consolidation will be left to be adopted at a later stage (CCCTB).

Electricity Tax Works Undercover

Martin Vlachynsky and More Liberal Voices/November 10, 2015November 10, 2015 /Leave a comment

Slovakia is experiencing situation common to many European economies. The price of electric energy on the market is falling, so is the overall consumption of electricity. And yet, the final price for consumers, especially in the industrial sector, remains high.
