lpv:translated text	"In favour. On the positive side: clear statement (paragraph 1) based on a Green amendment that the core functions of the tax systems are to finance public services, such as education, health care, public transport and infrastructures; protect public goods, by incentivising, for example, the production and consumption of environmentally-friendly products; bring down social inequalities, by ensuring a more equal distribution of income and wealth. We support the message that double taxation of businesses and individuals needs to be overcome. As for tax evasion, our very demanding amendments were condensed into a few paragraphs: generalisation and extension of automatic information exchange; notify and make public tax rulings (which would help to make company tax dodging public); and, last but not least, a call to the Commission to establish an EU definition and list of tax havens (secrecy jurisdiction), in the absence of a meaningful international list. (A meaningful list would contain a few EU Member States ...) On the negative, however: relatively weak language on the need for tax harmonisation, and a few anti-tax bits and pieces slipped into the final report (need for low taxes, contrasted with ascertainment of need for tax increases a few paragraphs further down ...)."@en1
