"We Swedish Social Democrats clearly support a strong welfare society financed by solid tax revenue. We therefore see significant problems in the trend towards lower corporate taxes, which is being driven by the ever tougher tax competition between the Member States. If this process is not checked, corporate tax will not be the only thing that is eroded. It will also be difficult for those countries that want to keep a relatively high level of taxation to actually do so. Consequently, we feel that it is worth holding a proper debate on limiting or putting a stop to this tax competition. However, we cannot support the establishment of a minimum level for corporate taxes. This would entail the EU getting involved in an area – direct taxation – in which the starting point has to be that the Member States take the decisions entirely on their own."@en1
