"The report identifies a set of questions that are relevant and very much of the moment, namely: - Making ‘the fight against tax havens and corruption a top priority of the agenda’; - ‘Difficulties encountered by developing countries in raising domestic revenues …, multiple exemptions being granted to large domestic and foreign companies in order to attract investments’; - ‘The financial transaction tax’ at an international level, with ‘a first step at the EU level’; - ‘Low income countries need the capacity to effectively negotiate with multinational corporations’ in order to ‘impose capital controls’ and fully exercise their sovereignty. However, this report is not free of contradictions, in particular, when it identifies the problems that will derive from the implementation of economic partnership agreements, namely, with regard to the reduction in tax revenue, but does not adopt a clear position rejecting such agreements.
It also does not adopt a basic critical position on the responsibilities of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organisation in promoting policies that favour the destruction of production infrastructure and public services, create unemployment and undermine countries’ internal markets, thus further undermining their tax revenues, budgets, sovereignty and independence."@en1
