"I supported the recommendations presented in this report because I consider it important to call upon Member States to make their taxation systems more supportive of economic growth. I believe that it is regrettable that in conditions of economic crisis, some Member States, including my home country Estonia, have left less-fortunate families to bear the heavier burden through increases in indirect taxes. Such a policy is, however, contrary to European guidelines, for instance, the directive on value-added tax, and it impedes economic development and increases social inequality. From the point of view of the development of the European economy, it is certainly very important to reduce the bureaucracy that is particularly characteristic of the larger Member States, as well as to prevent double taxation for companies and private individuals and to establish a single consolidated tax base for corporate income tax."@en1
