lpv:spoken text	"The ECR group supports efforts at national, EU and global level against tax evasion and tax fraud. We oppose the aggressive tax planning by which some companies are taking advantage of mismatches in tax regimes in relation to tax evasion and actively avoid legitimate Government tax collection. We support analytical work by the OECD, the G20 or other relevant forums to clearly distinguish between legal and illegal acts in the area of taxation and ensure a level playing field. However, we cannot agree with the aim of preventing Member States negotiating tax agreements directly with third countries. Moreover, we do not consider it necessary to provide more budgetary resources and staff to DG TAXUD to help it develop EU policies and proposals on double non-taxation, tax evasion and fraud. The solution for the more efficient collection of taxes in Member States does not lie in more EU legislation, but with better enforcement of the existing national and EU system, and through greater international cooperation in tax matters. Finally, we disagree with the inclusion of the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base in this report and have therefore as a group voted against paragraphs 9, 13 and 22 specifically and abstained on the final report.
