"I fully support this resolution. Tax fraud generates illicit funding which is invested in illicit activities and is often subject to money laundering. Too light an approach can result in tax fraud and tax evasion generating – in time – complex mechanisms that secure virtually inexhaustible resources for organised crime networks and corruption. The resolution touches upon some of the more substantial problems that we witness today across Europe, such as: secrecy within the banking sector, the resort to foreign non-cooperating jurisdictions (tax havens) in order to conceal both licit and illicit financial interests, corporate tax avoidance, inefficient collection of tax, the abundance of unjustified exemptions etc. Expectedly, each of these forms of tax avoidance and evasion are more specific to some countries than others. Within the EU these specificities should be accurately traced out and countered by region-specific measures."@en1
