Documents of the special committee on tax dumping

It did take some time, but on March 16th the special committee of the European Parliament TAXE started with its work. It is a big chance to reveal who bears the blame of tax dumping favoured by governments and multinational corporations. The investigation in the European Parliament can help to push for effective laws in Europe. We Greens have presented an ambitious roadmap showing what we want to investigate. All details can be found here: http://www.greens-efa.eu/special-committee-roadmap-13665.html

 

We want to put special emphasis on transparency on this issue. Therefore, I will publish all important documents on this site.
