"− I voted for the resolution on the call for concrete ways to combat tax fraud and evasion because it concerns one of the scourges that – along with tax havens – does most damage to Member States’ tax capacity. As a recent study commissioned by the European Parliament Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament confirmed, the tax gap – that is, the difference between the sum chargeable in taxation and the sum actually collected – is overwhelming in the majority of EU Member States. If we want to safeguard the Member States’ to ensure funding for public duties, including the welfare state, we cannot allow such levels of lost taxation, particularly at a time of budgetary discipline and consolidation. Furthermore, it is clear that this cannot be achieved exclusively at national level."@en1
