"Council Directive 2003/49/EC regulates the common system of taxation applicable to interest and royalty payments made between associated companies of different Member States. However, there are still problems relating to the functioning of the internal market, not least as regards corporate tax rates: transactions between different Member States are taxed more heavily than the same transactions within the domestic market. Therefore, this Council directive aims to ensure greater harmonisation between the rates paid within and between different Member States, thereby eliminating certain problems like double taxation, tax avoidance fraud and the possibility of unintended non-taxation, since these cause great damage to the smooth running of the internal market. The Commission is also being called on to set a minimum level for taxes paid by companies within the EU, taking into account factors such as tax competitiveness among certain countries and in such a way as not to harm the sustainable consolidation of the Member States’ national budgets. I voted for this report because I consider it an important step in the process of building an internal market that is efficient and competitive, and that genuinely benefits European companies and citizens."@en1
