"( Mr President, may I draw Members’ attention to the unfair taxation principles currently applied in Poland to Polish nationals working abroad. The problem applies first and foremost to the several hundred thousand people working in the United Kingdom and to the UK/Poland Double Taxation Agreement signed in 1976. The Polish method of calculating the tax payable on income received by Polish nationals in the United Kingdom is unfavourable and may in fact lead to double taxation. Both the UK Government and, above all, the Polish Government must ensure that the Agreement is renegotiated as soon as possible in the interests of European Union citizens. Poles deciding to leave their homeland to work in other countries contribute to the wealth of the whole of the European Union; they frequently do the hardest work for low pay and live in difficult conditions. In many cases, they are exploited by dishonest intermediaries. The Polish Minister of Finance should not levy any tax at all on income received by Polish nationals abroad and repatriated by them. At the same time, the European Parliament should come to the defence of those people, guarding justice and the right of the citizens of the European Union to a decent life."@en1
