lpv:translated text	". We voted against the report and would like to strongly oppose what is in this document. In the first version of the legislative proposal, the European Commission proposed a voluntary scheme. According to the European Parliament text, however, it would be an obligatory scheme for all Member States once the transitional period was over. Taxation is a national competence and the European Commission and European Parliament must adhere to that. Under the additional protocol in relation to the concerns of the Irish people on the Treaty of Lisbon, which the European Parliament ratified today, it is clear that it is Member States who have the competence for taxation. The CCCTB (Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base) would not improve the functioning of the single market at all, and could even damage small open economies such as Ireland. A change in the rate of corporation tax would interfere with a strong aspect of the Irish economy that is crucial to Ireland’s recovery and growth potential. According to a study recently undertaken by the European Centre for Economic Studies in relation to the implementation of the CCCTB in Europe, it would be impractical, impossible to implement and politically undesirable."@en1
