lpv:translated text	"− I welcome this resolution calling for concrete ways to combat tax fraud and tax evasion. In the context of today’s European economy and economic downturn, tax collecting and tax policy issues become particularly important. Tax evasion and fraud are a key factor threatening the revenue of all countries and costing billions. It is not a problem that can be addressed at national level alone. Only an effective and targeted fight against tax fraud and evasion is the main way of obtaining the resources necessary to increase public investment in opportunities to improve Europe’s international competitiveness and increase growth. We should be effective in this fight not by policing but by creating an environment where evading taxes does not bring any benefits and is not worth the effort. The Council should draw up quantitative targets for the reduction of tax evasion in the EU by 2020 and complete the reform of the Savings Taxation Directive as soon as possible. This would reinforce automatic information exchange and ensure fair and appropriate taxation of savings throughout the EU."@en1
