"UKIP voted against paragraph 6 of the S&D resolution on the Commission Work Programme. UKIP opposes any illegal action in the realm of tax. However we cannot call on the EU to do anything, as this is a step in the direction of further tax powers being handed over to the unaccountable EU institutions. The second part calls for more EU legislation on country-by-country reporting for all cross-border companies. UKIP will not support more EU red tape on businesses. UKIP voted against split 1 on paragraph 9 of the EPP resolution on the Commission Work Programme. UKIP was elected to oppose new EU legislation, get rid of existing EU laws, return powers to Member States and campaign to leave the EU. As this concerns the withdrawal of EU proposals, we voted to support the withdrawal. UKIP abstained on split 2 on paragraph 9 of the EPP resolution on the Commission Work Programme concerning the withdrawal of the Maternity Leave Directive. While on the one hand we certainly support the reduction of EU legislation; we are not against maternity leave, which other parties would wrongfully attack us for if we voted in favour."@en1
