lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, at this time of crisis, Parliament should bring forward proposals that assist growth and job creation, and instead we have a proposal to harmonise the corporate tax base. This is a very bad idea. Tax competition is good. It keeps governments honest. It stops them taking too much money from the productive sector of our economy, and we in the EU should aim to keep corporate taxes as low as possible. This is a backdoor step to try and ratchet corporate taxes up. This proposal also treads on the powers of the nation states. We should remember in this place that it is for the nation states to decide what taxes to levy on their citizens. Long may that remain so."@en1
