lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the resolution concerning the EP annual report on taxation issues. The report focuses on the tax initiatives taken by the Commission during 2011 and on areas where further initiatives are necessary in order to improve the functioning of the single market and to create a more competitive Europe. The report also stresses that improvement of the single market and, eventually, some tax harmonisation could be key factors for encouraging growth and job creation; that tax policies must aim to foster European competitiveness and lower costs for European business, namely for small and medium enterprises. I agree with the rapporteur’s proposal that the EP should ask the Commission and Member States to cooperate further on their respective tax policies against double taxation, tax fraud and tax evasion in order to increase transparency and reduce loopholes and uncertainties for businesses and citizens with regard to tax collection. To make the taxation process more coherent, I support the EP call upon the Commission in cooperation with the European Parliament to establish an EU definition and list – taking into account, as a first step, the OECD definition and list of tax havens or secrecy jurisdictions."@en1
