"Mr President, tax evasion and corruption cost Europe 1% of GDP, or approximately EUR 120 billion. Also, according to a recent study, two-thirds of the Member States of Europe failed to score over five out of ten in a recent corruption assessment. I mention this in order to point out, on the question of tax evasion, that this problem does not concern specific Member States only, as certain Members often state; it is a European problem and should be addressed as such.
In addition to what my colleagues have said, I should like to add another parameter. The European funds spend a great deal of money on e-governance. Of that, approximately 1 billion is earmarked for Greece up to 2013 for e-governance and for reforms of the public administration. These funds will be put to targeted use in order to combat tax evasion."@en1
