"I voted in favour of the text presented by Mr Schmidt. For the first time, Parliament has decided to publish an annual tax report. The objective of the report is to feed in to the work of the Commission work programme for 2012, focusing on the tax initiatives taken by the Commission during 2011 and on areas where further initiatives are necessary in order to improve the functioning of the single market and to create a more integrated and competitive Europe. We therefore need further tax coordination among Member States and a careful examination of the areas where the EU can play a crucial role that may have a direct, positive effect on the daily lives of many European businesses and citizens. The question of tackling discriminatory tax rules in Member States that are in conflict with the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the EU Treaties is of key importance. Lastly, we must provide strong support for campaigns and measures to prevent tax avoidance and abuse, and to encourage tax transparency."@en1
