"Low taxes are not just essential for the social welfare of families and households, but are also important for ensuring the competitiveness of new jobs. Attention is drawn to the fact that taxation is a matter of national sovereignty. Every Member State must therefore aim to reduce the tax burden with a particular focus on SMEs. It is also very important for the tax policies of both the EU and the Member States to be directly targeted against double taxation, tax fraud, tax evasion and abuse. I believe that the Commission’s proposals regarding taxation must, above all, increase the EU’s competitiveness and ensure the effective functioning of the single market, but under no circumstances must they increase the administrative burden. VAT regimes also need to be simplified and bureaucracy reduced. Bearing in mind the interests of citizens and businesses, we need to establish a clear, transparent and stable tax environment which will remove remaining cross-border tax obstacles, discrimination and double taxation in respect of citizens and businesses."@en1
