MEPs to quiz Mr Hogan on removal of countries from tax haven blacklist

MEPs will review plans to remove eight countries from an EU i tax haven blacklist, in a debate on Wednesday evening.

MEPs will hear from the EU Commission and Council on their decision to remove several countries -- including Panama and Tunisia -- from an EU blacklist of tax havens, little more than a month after they were first listed.

You can watch the plenary debate via EP Live, and EbS+.

Background

In January, the Commission announced that it would move eight of the original 17 countries from its black list to a “grey list”, drawing further criticism from those who are already sceptical about the lack of sanctions or other financial penalties against countries on the list.
