"Developing countries have seen their customs resources fall as a result of market liberalisation. These losses in resources can be compensated for by better governance and a fairer and more efficient taxation system. We should therefore develop improved technical and legal support in these countries in order to introduce a fair, progressive and transparent taxation system; for example, we should abolish all discretionary tax exemptions and preferences for multinationals and mining companies. Another way in which we can further help these countries is to put an end to the tax havens which seriously hinder their development. Clearly, a fairer taxation system and greater legal certainty will encourage overseas private investment and therefore, eventually, growth. All these provisions must not, however, lead to a fall in official development assistance. We should remain vigilant on this point, as the Member States are always inclined to reduce the portion of their GDP allocated to official development assistance."@en1
