European Parliament
Marina Yannakoudakis  (ECR ),
in writing.
– I voted against this report because I do not believe that fiscal federalism will promote greater economic efficiency. While I supported the initial aims of the report, such as preventing double taxation, tax fraud and use of tax havens, the conclusions were too federalist. As an MEP for London, the EU’s leading financial centre, it is my duty to protect national fiscal sovereignty so that the UK is able to provide a competitive business environment.
