lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I abstained from voting on this report because my country has reservations about this proposal for a directive. A standard tax base is extremely important for the progress of economic integration. This is the only possible way to ensure fair competition in fiscal matters. At the same time, harmonisation enhances EU competitiveness and has a beneficial impact on the economy and labour market. The proposal for a directive initially envisages the optional application of the tax base, and every Member State will be able to set its own tax rate. However, several national parliaments, including the parliament in my country, have called this an infringement of the principle of subsidiarity. Romania has also requested clarifications regarding the definition of the principles and ideas behind the tax base. I believe that we need fair competition in fiscal matters, which will allow the national tax base to be protected."@en1
