lpv:translated text	"I voted for this report because it clearly recognises the link between achieving the Millennium Development Goals and fiscal governance. It also recognises that taxation through a progressive tax system is essential to democracy. It recognises that offshore centres and tax havens aim for illicit capital flight which, combined with ‘zero tax’ systems to attract funds and investments, result in a transfer of burdens to workers and families on lower incomes by reducing the quality and quantity of public services in poor countries, as well as their ability to combat poverty. Assisting developing countries’ judicial and anti-corruption services in their efforts to develop progressive taxation systems would be an excellent service provided by the EU."@en1
