"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I fully agree with this report, through which Parliament is trying to send out an important message on simplifying and harmonising corporate taxation.
The existence of 27 different legislations on corporate income tax does not only mean high costs and red tape for businesses operating in different countries, but also the serious risk of tax evasion and tax discrimination. This intervention is essential to reduce the costs for businesses operating in several states and to promote economic growth and economic recovery within the internal market.
Finally, the optional nature of this measure, which gives companies the possibility to assess the benefits and costs when choosing the new system, neutralises the reluctance of some Member States that fear their sovereignty in taxation and revenue may be at risk. In the interests of citizens and businesses rather than solely on the basis of calculations of national self-interest, I therefore hope that the Council will be able to reach an agreement without resorting to enhanced cooperation."@en1
