"The present economic and financial crisis is obliging Member States to seek increased revenue in order to penalise taxpayers’ purchasing power, at the least. One of the various means adopted is combating tax fraud and evasion. We all know that, if those who do not pay their taxes started paying, we would all pay less. Companies’ flight to tax havens, especially from the countries undergoing bailout programmes, which have had to abolish privileges in line with the Troika’s proposals; the lack of financial cooperation and collaboration between Member States; and shortcomings existing in European Union legislation on taxation contribute to creating a climate of lack of confidence in taxation. This harms economic development and, consequently, growth and job creation. I welcome the implementation of new strategies in this struggle and tighter controls on capital flights to tax havens. A fairer European Union involves an end to the black economy. I voted for this motion for a resolution, since I am aware of the significant loss of revenue for EU Member States represented by tax fraud and evasion."@en1
