"Mr President, as I explained last night, I am not thrilled with the compromise reached in Feira on the taxation of savings income. I voted in favour of all the amendments in Mr Pérez Royo’s report because I authored the greater majority of them. I am also very grateful to the rapporteur for no longer including these overly radical amendments, as I explained to the House last night. I also voted in favour of the report in the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market so that it could be placed on the agenda.
Although I decided nonetheless to vote against the report on this occasion, it was in order to register that I am, in principle, against the fact that, at Feira, we abandoned the co-existence model which would have enabled Member States to choose whether to withhold tax or to exchange information on savings income received. I also believe that we can no longer have a situation where Member States adopt and publish a directive on this issue before ascertaining whether the same measures will be applied in dependent or associated territories, and before having concluded negotiations with third countries on the application of equivalent measures, on the understanding that withholding tax is not the same as the exchange of information."@en1
