"The ECR concurs with the Commission’s view that directive on CCCTB laying down common rules for the calculation of the tax base applicable to companies operating in the European Union should be optional. We therefore disagree with the call for a mandatory CCCTB expressed in the report of the European Parliament. Moreover, unlike the Commission, we consider that this system should not be mandatory for all EU27 states but rather should be open to those Member States that would decide to opt in. For these reasons we consider that, while it is important to aim at the completion of the Single Market through means that, among other things, reduce the administrative burden for companies operating in the EU, it is equally essential to preserve the freedom to run a business in accordance with existing national laws and practices in order to ensure healthy competition between companies. Any attempt, overt or hidden, to put in place an initial step leading towards harmonisation of corporate taxation in the EU is thus to be opposed on both legal and economic grounds. The subsidiarity principle must be fully respected in the area of direct taxation where the Treaty of Lisbon does not enshrine an exclusive EU competence."@en1
