lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Van Rompuy, in your speech you talked about peer pressure and market forces, but I think you forgot to mention people pressure because, when I look at the plan that you adopted yesterday evening, I see that you are applying the same approach to Italy as you are to Greece. This is an unpleasant approach and it does not work. If you want to increase the problems we already have in Greece by applying the same approach to Italy tomorrow, please feel free to do so, but I am sure that people pressure will change the landscape. You have not mentioned the word ‘tax’ at all. Several MEPs have mentioned in this House that tax evasion was a major problem in Europe. Our region has the greatest fiscal competition in the world. We are a single market but we do not have fiscal harmonisation. We simply must resolve this paradoxical situation. You know the figures. In Italy, according to the government, EUR 120 billion escape the Italian tax system, EUR 200 billion in Greece, EUR 100 billion in France and EUR 150 billion in Germany. There is no point in calling on casual workers, the unemployed, junior civil servants and the retired to make a contribution if you do not make it a priority to tackle tax evasion. You have not said a single word about this. This is an outrageous and unjust shortcoming in the outcome of yesterday’s summit."@en1
