In my mind, this quote from your link
Quote:
The European Court of Justice has just concluded that EU member states are free to charge differing rates of VAT on eBooks and paper books.

can be interpreted like the blog author did:
Quote:
This will allow all countries in Europe to basically change their VAT on all books and not break ‘fiscal neutrality’, an EU concept whereby markets for the same goods are distorted by varying tax rates.

Or it can be interpreted that everything will stay the same, that, for instance, Germany can charge different taxes for ebooks and for paper books and different tax rates than Luxemburg or France and we won't have common tax rates above all countries.
