Cornelia Primosch is joined by Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen, Spokeswoman of the European Commission (EC), to discuss Tax Evasion and EC President José Manuel Barroso’s speech in New York on Global Economic Governance.
The EC wants to see a quick agreement on the EU Savings Directive and on mandates to negotiate stronger tax agreements with Switzerland and other countries. This was one of the main topics of EC President’s State of the Union Speech in September. President Barroso is in New York this week to debate global economic governance at the United Nations and his speech on Monday, 15th April, outlined the EU achievements in this field in the past few years.
Tax evasion and tax fraud are going to be the topics of the EU Summit in May.
