"The report tries to support administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties in order to address problems of fraud. The Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS) is already up and running and the new regulation simply imposes a permanent obligation on the Member States and the Commission to ensure that it and related services are maintained. I abstained because, although controls over movements of products subject to excise duties are faster and more comprehensive using the automated system, which is a step towards combating tax fraud and tax evasion, I consider that they are not enough and do not resolve the problem of tax evasion and tax avoidance. Also, it is based on focusing Union policy on the socially unfair indirect taxes borne by citizens, at a time when direct taxes on all sources of wealth are being reduced. I therefore believe that the problem needs to be set on the right footing and a socially fair tax policy needs to be applied, which plays a development and redistributive role and can combat the serious problem of tax competition, of effective controls, of taxation of offshore companies and of the tax havens flourishing in the Union."@en1
