Decision of the EU Commission on fiscal matters

The Secretariat of COMECE takes note of the recent decision of the European Commission to deal with tax optimization for multinational companies in terms of competition policy. The COMECE Secretariat will closely monitor the implementation of this approach in all Member States.

In a context of growing poverty in Europe, many citizens regard practices that enable multinational companies to pay little or no tax on their activities in the EU with incomprehension.

For the sake of the common good, COMECE urges stakeholders to work together for more tax justice and recalls the proposals put forward by the Conference of European Justice and Peace Commissions in this field.
