"This report is aimed mainly at getting rid of the tax barriers that are acting as significant obstacles to growth and employment whilst, in this period of crisis, this is perhaps what we most need. Tax harmonisation in Europe is the keystone for growth and competitiveness for our small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These barriers must be removed, especially as bureaucracy and the tax systems weigh particularly heavily on SMEs. This report shows us that these measures have led to a reduction in the tax obstacles related to cross-border operations and the elimination of distortions of competitiveness from which companies suffer, even within the European Union. This report, however, is also about preventing double non-taxation, tax fraud, tax havens and increasing tax transparency. Finally, it also sets out numerous recommendations, from the need to simplify VAT regimes to the importance of a low tax level, not just for the social welfare of families and households, but also for competitiveness and new jobs."@en1
