"Mr President, we should be concerned that growth in the EU is fading and that companies are moving abroad. Result? A great increase in the claims under the Globalisation Adjustment Fund to help redundant workers. That must be partly the reason for the massive budget deficit we heard about this morning. Did I hear right then? EUR 60 billion? That is taxpayers’ money.
This report speaks, among other things, of disseminating good practices, improving soft regulation processes, company disclosure of social and environmental information, emphasising the importance of national and subnational policies, and more of the same. It is about time the EU stopped generating the red tape of rules and regulations. In itself that consumes resources, so cut the red tape, reduce the business rate tax burden, and big multinationals might become more responsible, inclined to pay their tax and not avoid it. They could then concentrate on marketing their goods, generating income and retaining the workforce. And we all benefit."@en1
