The internal market is the EU’s greatest contribution to democracy and prosperity in Europe.
The intention of this report is said to be to make the internal market work better by bringing about the harmonisation of tax bases, in this case by the harmonisation of ways in which company losses are to be treated when several countries are affected. However, the report rests upon a premise which has not been thought through. Harmonisation of tax bases has very different effects in the different countries depending on differences in the structure of their industries. In some countries there is a preponderance of heavy primary industry with huge long-range investments, whereas in others industry is dominated by service businesses and light engineering.
We therefore consider that the question of harmonising tax bases should be investigated more thoroughly before a report such as this is debated in Parliament."@en1
