"Mr President, Mr Fernando Pérez Royo’s report is on a proposal for a Council directive to ensure effective taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments within the Community.
Shivers ran down my spine, Mr President, and my hair stood on end when I read the title of this report: effective taxation of savings income. Of course, it is right to pay taxes and, as this directive says, it is right to inform States that their citizens have come here, for example, and that they must be taxed on the interest on any savings they may have, but should we not decide once and for all not to make people who save pay interest or tax to governments just because they have been saving money? Saving is a very good thing.
It was with great difficulty that I voted for the report."@en1
