"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the problem of public finances facing many European Member States is now clear for all to see. Therefore, it is not a time to be fighting over principles. Instead, we need to focus on common objectives, such as a return to sustainability in public budgets, and this means focusing on much broader goals.
I would therefore like to congratulate Mr Casa on his truly excellent work. While basing itself on the solid foundations of the Commission’s Green Paper, the report focuses on extremely important points. In this regard, I find the reference to reducing fraud particularly instructive. When citizens are being asked to make further sacrifices in order to improve the budget situation in leading European countries, there should be no flank left exposed to tax evaders and fraudsters. EU transactions need to be carried out within a simple fiscal framework, so that companies are absolutely not burdened by any additional administrative costs beyond those they already have to bear.
I believe that a further aspect should be underlined, one which I feel Mr Casa has thoroughly explored, regarding the markers this resolution puts in place for the healthier development of the internal market. More effective collection and simpler administration for businesses would inevitably foster business between Member States. This seems to me to be a thoroughly commendable objective, particularly at a time like the present, when the market needs a boost to get going and to get resources moving, and, at the same time, to create wealth.
I would like to congratulate Mr Casa once again, because I believe that this resolution is balanced and focuses on the true priorities. Now it is time to take action."@en1
