"Mr President, it is definitely welcome that the European Parliament is providing its opinion on current European tax policy issues. The report correctly assesses the importance of the coordination of tax policies in terms of information exchange, as the absence of such coordination could, in the long term, indeed entail a lack of transparency in taxation and the risk of tax evasion. However, this, in itself, means far more than a deficit of millions of euro because, in time, the very single market and the unimpeded operation of cross-border companies could be at risk.
It must be noted, however, that while tax policy rightly continues to remain within national competence, Member States must cooperate in making their tax policies, which also represent major budgetary revenues to them, transparent and comparable, and must also cooperate in making both the tax collection system and the tax planning strategies applied measurable and comparable.
However, in order for Europe to be competitive in terms of its various tax policies in combating tax evasion and double taxation, it needs to involve not only the OECD but also the European Community itself more actively."@en1
