European Parliament
Nuno Teixeira  (PPE ),

In November 2011, the European Commission published a report entitled ‘Double taxation in the single market’, intended to resolve the serious problems of double taxation in the European Union. In view of the problem in question, I am voting for this report, since I believe there is a need to adopt new instruments and new solutions in order to combat double taxation and achieve greater fiscal coordination within the EU. I believe the European Parliament should suggest the implementation of new measures intended to prevent fraud and tax havens, and that it is crucial to abolish cross-border territorial obstacles, as well as the double-taxation discrimination to which some individuals and businesses are subjected in the European Union.
