lpv:spoken text	"Many of my of my constituents are rightly concerned that while they work hard and pay their taxes, multinationals are expertly avoiding theirs. We’ve had the ‘LuxLeaks’ and the ‘Panama Papers’ revelations – and it is clear that tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance are endemic cross-border problems that require a cross-border solution. This report rightly calls for protection for whistle-blowers, and for the creation of a blacklist of tax havens. Furthermore, it calls for a gradual phasing-out of ‘patent box’ regimes, which, rather than providing tax incentives for conducting research and development, have facilitated tax avoidance. In addition, there must be an investigation into the role of banks and advisory firms in tax avoidance. All in all, this is an ambitious report and builds on the positive steps taken by the Commission, and I voted in favour of it."@en1
