Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base Proposals in Strasbourg

We are all preparing for next week's Strasbourg session. There are reports to pore over, voting plans to be made, and press to be contacted.

One of the issues being discussed next week is a proposal for a "Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base" for EU member states. Given the state of the Eurozone at the moment, I think that harmonising economic practices and criteria is a real no-goer!

I will always vote against such proposals.
