"(
) We welcome the explicit statement in the report that it: ‘Strongly condemns the role played by tax havens in encouraging and profiteering from tax avoidance, tax evasion and capital flight; urges the Member States, therefore, to make the fight against the tax havens, tax evasion and illicit capital flight a priority’.
We also support the statement that with ‘the efforts made as part of OECD-led initiatives’ the ‘results remain insufficient to cope with the challenges presented by tax havens and offshore centres and must be followed by decisive, effective and consistent action’ and even that ‘the commitments made by the G20 to date are not sufficient to address the challenges posed by tax evasion, tax havens and off-shore centres’.
The most important thing, however, was not to reduce this to mere good intentions, but rather to combat and eliminate tax havens and offshore centres effectively, especially when, as in certain cases, there is a certain amount of drama surrounding the public deficit, aimed at pursuing and even enhancing the same neoliberal policies that once again leave the workers and the people with the bill for the crisis."@en1
