De nieuwe beweging van de charismatische , petulante Varoufakis, waar ik bovendien een hoop Grieks kan van leren, kan Europa sterk helpen democratiseren en versterken.
Dit enthousiasmeert me al:
Citaat:
The current system of taxation is highly unequal. Europe’s poorest citizens pay their taxes while the wealthy elite and their multinational corporations dodge their tax burdens and hide their money from European authorities. The European Commission estimates €1 trillion lost each year to tax evasion. And these estimates fail to account for intra-European arbitrage, as transnational corporations flee to low-tax jurisdictions without sanction.
ii. Our New Deal for Europe will ban all tax havens within the EU — including the revocation of evasion enabling laws in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Ireland, and elsewhere. We will clean up Europe’s banking sector, with a single clear rule: banks that do not disclose what they do in tax havens cannot operate and do not have access to ECB credit lines. Following the proposals of the European Parliament’s CRIM Committee, European Spring will make proposals to amend any legislation that would require full transparency to financial institutions in providing all information about their activities to offshore supervisory authorities
iii. To that end, we will blacklist all tax havens outside the EU identified with serial tax evasion. And we will set up a new Court of Economic Justice to investigate and prosecute European corporations and individuals with accounts in blacklisted tax havens, with the remit to revoke their property rights if caught red-handed.
