"Contrary to my usual custom, I will begin with a political statement, as I find tax evasion and avoidance, in these times of increasing unemployment and increasing pay inequality, a real scandal. During the elections, it will become clear which parties are really willing to take this on.
Mr Hamon’s report on taxation of savings income is an example of the question at hand. I realise that it is difficult for the Commissioner to reach true agreement on this under the unanimity rule. The Socialist Group in the European Parliament has more ambition than may be found in the Commission’s proposal, and this has been worked into a number of amendments which we have submitted.
A final comment on Mrs Lulling, who contrasts the two systems of information exchange and taxation at source. I think that that is not really the point. We are talking about the loopholes that are present in the law in both systems and which are the points that we should focus on. Steps have been taken, but more needs to be done than the current report proposes."@en1
