lpv:translated text	"Thank you very much, Mr Karas, for your intelligent work, which has a very clear objective: to ensure that this proposal for a directive will see the light as soon as possible. To this end, and with a view to removing any obstacles which could be raised by the Council, I have presented two amendments to resolve a problem, a Spanish problem, but one which also affects other nationalities. I will put it in Aristotelian terms. Major premise: in Spain there are funds without legal personality, established for the payment of retirement benefits. Minor premise: these funds are administrated by certain entities which do have legal personality. Conclusion: these entities must be subject to the same conditions and requirements as bodies which play identical roles in other countries and which do have legal personality. Mr Karas and I have prepared amendments which he will lay out tomorrow orally, which I hope will solve this problem. The second issue I would like to refer to has been mentioned by some speakers; it relates to the fiscal problems raised by these funds. The proposal for a directive does not say a word about it, because that is not its purpose. There is a Commission communication of 19 April which deals with the problems caused by fiscal obstacles for crossborder pensions. The most important of these problems, which is in third place chronologically, relates to situations of double taxation or non-taxation when there are differences in the tax systems, as is the case within the European Union. The solution, according to the communication itself, is the harmonisation of rules on pensions; nevertheless, this committee desists from this audacious route and prefers to use the current rules, which – in my judgment – will be insufficient. I know that the Commissioner will ask me to approach the States, but I only have a voice in this Parliament and only he can be my interlocutor."@en1
