"Mr President, as Kay Swinburne said, looking at the title of this report one would think that every Member would vote in favour of it, as we would expect, at any rate, that every Member would be in favour of fighting tax dishonesty and tax evasion.
Why, then, did we not vote in favour of it? Although we respect Jean-Paul Gauzès, we consider that his proposals were excessive, in particular introducing proposals in which we had no part, such as a common tax or ‘CCCTB’, tax competition and agreements among various countries. We cannot accept these proposals and we therefore voted against it. Let us continue to battle dishonesty and evasion.
Finally, instead of joining with my friends from Britain, perhaps they – particularly the Conservatives – would return to the EPP where they were before. They would be welcome."@en1
