"I voted in favour of Mr Schmidt’s annual tax report, which calls on the Commission to make proposals that will contribute to European competitiveness by eliminating distortions of competition which arise from the various taxation systems still in place. In terms of cross-border issues, the differences in the tax ‘excises’ on a number of products, such as fuel, drinks and cigarettes, can easily create cross-border competition distortions. The current economic and financial crisis has led to a significant rise in public debt in Europe, the reduction of which requires both expenditure restraint and tax increases, as well as streamlining of tax systems. Accordingly, we need to adopt measures that can make the national tax systems more favourable to common growth, ensuring that tax differences do not give business in one country an undue advantage over competitors in other countries."@en1
