lpv:spoken text	". Madame President, I, like many of my colleagues, was very happy to see that after 30 years of negotiations and many false starts, we eventually had a compromise text on a European Company Statute. I fully supported the text as adopted by the Council. However, I was and I am totally opposed to the amendments which have been adopted and which support the harmonisation of taxes. We all wish to see the ability for companies to operate on an EU basis under one common regulatory system. This can potentially lead to employment and assist economic growth throughout the Union. Over the past decade, Ireland has been progressively reducing its taxation which has been led to an increase in employment, an increase in budget surplus and continued sustainable growth. I am opposed to the standardisation or harmonisation of taxes and these issues can be and must be dealt with by means of co-ordinated measures."@en1
