Unit 4: EU Commission advises UK Government

The European Commission has called on the UK to raise taxes on higher value properties, build more houses and adjust the Help to Buy scheme.

As an article for your upcoming exam, it is interesting to see another way the Commission uses it's powers;

ie - as an advisory body to nation states.

If you are pro European, you would think this is a good thing. More points of view, debate etc can only make for better decisions and legislation.

If you are anti European, you will think it is another example of a non-elected body interfering in UK/Nations affairs.
