"Mr President, I voted against Ms Thyssen’s report on the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base. I am in favour of simplifying the economic environment and creating greater transparency. Such a step would really help some multinational companies. There are, however, two main problems in the report. The first one mentioned is tax rate harmonisation, and I totally concur with my colleagues that the European Union cannot impose tax rates on individual Member States. This is not normal and defies any economic logic. The second problem concerns the formula for distributing tax from holding companies. It is based on criteria that, although slightly improved by Parliament, are far from logical economically and do not create conditions for making companies more competitive and for distributing taxes more fairly. A common tax collection system only makes sense when there are fiscal transfers involved too, and such transfers have not been proposed."@en1
