"Mr President, I agree with Mr Schmidt that tax evasion is a serious problem for the European Union and that we must address the coordination of tax policies. I am not sure that we can proceed to tax harmonisation straight away. I think that those State competences are strong enough and that many countries are not interested in moving towards such a procedure. I do believe, however, that we could start to work on a common account plan. I think that it is necessary to create common, multilingual accounting forms that would be accepted and assessed in different languages by different tax offices in the individual countries. Then, on the basis of harmonised accounting procedures and accounting forms, we could start to discuss how to define a common tax base, which it may be appropriate to define. I think that taxes will remain in the competences and, I might add, interests of the individual countries for a long time to come, and I believe that this will also have to be respected."@en1
