"Mr President, the Commission released a package of measures against aggressive tax planning just before the summer, and we have all now had time to digest them. Although many are welcome, some serious gaps still remain.
Above all, we need a robust, objective definition of tax havens to underpin the list produced by the Commission; we need concrete measures to stop those who use tax havens benefiting from EU funds; and we need protection for those whistleblowers who have done so much to lift the lid on aggressive tax planning in Europe.
In addition, the Commission must not create new loopholes with the new loss adjustment mechanism it has proposed. Parliament’s special committee on corporate tax has, for the first time, provided democratic oversight of the activities of tax authorities, which until now have largely been hidden from their domestic populations. I hope that while the Commission follows up the welcome proposals in its own tax package it will look seriously at the proposals now emanating from that Special Committee on Tax Rulings and the report on tax matters being produced by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. Our constituents demand nothing less."@en1
