lpv:spoken text	"I voted against some of the proposals in this report because I believe that we are gold-plating OECD proposals at EU level. The OECD is the international body tasked with ensuring tax fairness/justice. Ireland is complying with OECD proposals and that should be our focus at European level. However, I was very happy to support many of the amendments, in particular the urgent call for better protection of whistle-blowers. It is unacceptable that people like Antoine Deltour, whose courage led to the LuxLeaks revelations and ultimately saved possibly billions in tax income, are prosecuted and sentenced while those responsible have to this day not faced any consequences."@en1
