"This report deals with taxation and development in developing countries. In order to achieve the goals set by the UN in 2000 in the Millennium Declaration, these countries need to know how to promote good governance in tax matters, by maximising all external support. In 2009, the European Commission, which has an interest in cooperation with these countries, published the document ‘Tax and development – Cooperating with developing countries on promoting good governance in tax matters’, with the objective of promoting synergies between development policy and tax policy, in order to make them fairer, more transparent and more effective. The same resolution was approved by Parliament in 2010.
The EU believes that fairer and more consistent tax systems will contribute to reducing poverty and making up for the loss of some revenue. I therefore support this report, which calls for the end of tax havens – veritable ‘weapons of mass destruction’ for developing countries – the combating of economic crime, action against tax evasion and unfair competition, and development through good governance."@en1
