"Mr President, the issue raised is extremely topical, as there is an extraordinarily great need for both the prevention of tax evasion and the income thus generated. The crisis has confirmed this to us, as it has also confirmed that it is not enough to impose requirements; we must also continuously evaluate and monitor compliance with them. If we fail to do so, then we will lose not only revenue but also European citizens’ and enterprises’ trust and their faith in the future. In addition to today’s debate, the initiative to review dubious bilateral agreements and extend the scope of the Savings Tax Directive is especially welcome. Moreover, I find it important that tax evasion via hybrid financial instruments has also been mentioned. I, too, will give high priority to this matter, also in my capacity as the MEP responsible for the dossier on royalties and interest payments."@en1
