"Nowadays, thanks to the rules that you yourselves have laid down, beginning with the free international movement of capital, services and goods, ‘captive’ taxpayers, in other words, workers and SMEs, are increasingly burdened, whilst the wealthy and the multinationals gleefully practise ‘tax optimisation’. Do you need reminding that this term obscures wholly amoral, abusive practices that are, however, perfectly legal, at least according to your rules? Admittedly, a country such as France would need a real tax revolution to boost the purchasing power of its people, the dynamism of its companies, the contribution of imports to the public purse, imports which cost us thousands of jobs each year ... The solution though is not tax harmonisation at European level nor the creation of new taxes at Union level, as the report recommends. As for the part dealing with the scourge of tax fraud, and especially of tax havens, it is astonishing that it does not mention any of the European markets that gladden the heart of finance, such as Luxembourg, the City of London, etc."@en1
