"I will talk about Scotland in a minute, Mr President.
With regard to Mrs Kauppi’s report on cooperation in the field of value added tax, I have to say that I met an old school friend, Mr Bertone, at Genoa airport. He said to me, with regard to the matter at hand: ‘How good you are in Europe at making us pay more taxes, at organising yourselves and reaching agreements to improve the way we pay taxes!’
Just like myself, Carlo Fatuzzo, Mr Bertone is from Genoa and Genoa has a reputation in Italy similar to that of Scotland in the United Kingdom: in other words, we are very thrifty, as they say. Indeed, my friend, Mr Bertone, of Genoa, said to me: ‘Yes, you are good at making us pay out. Why do you not do something, rather, to make us pay less tax, which would make us Genoese happy and probably the Scots as well? I hope this happens as soon as possible!’"@en1
