"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, following the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the European Commission presented a measure – the proposal under discussion today – to strengthen the fight against tax evasion. This makes it possible to increase transparency between all European State tax systems by exchanging information on assets.
It is a good measure, but we must also remember that a few months ago, a majority in the Italian Parliament approved the tax shield, which conceals tax evaders’ identities and robs European citizens of VAT tax revenue.
As the whole world fights the vices of illegality, some national laws nevertheless insult the dignity of honest citizens. It is for these reasons that we, together with other fellow Members from
and the
parties, have submitted a complaint to the Commission.
We have heard that the offices are acting on our comments. I therefore call upon the Commission to be brave, to accept responsibility for declaring the Italian tax shield to be illegal, and to allow those capital sums to be taxed."@en1
