Samalla viikolla HS julkaisi ison artikkelin veroparatiisesita ja EU:n roolista. Keskustan puheenjohtaja Juha Sipilä tarttui myös aiheeseen (kts. lisaa HS, YLE)
BryKen kannari oli erittäin ajankohtainen ja napakka. Nyt toivomme, että koko ELDR puolueena tarttuu aiheeseen.

The European Liberal Democratic Party;
Notes that
- most EU countries are increasing their tax rates and removing tax exemptions because of the economic crisis,
- tax evasion and tax fraud are decreasing the capacity of Member States to increase revenues,
- the European Commission's Communication published in June 2012 estimated the size of the shadow economy in the EU of nearly one fifth of GDP, representing €2 trillion in total,
- trillions of euro have been hidden in tax havens; the global elite is hiding up to $32 trillion in assets in offshore tax havens according to the report published by the Tax Justice Network in July 2012
Calls for
- the EU and Member States to tackle tax evasion, tax fraud, tax havens, and corruption,
- more effective tax collection in Member States and better cross-border cooperation between EU tax administrations,
- strong and wide transparency and country-by-country reporting directives to be approved as soon as possible and to be fully implemented in Member States,
- Member States to require in G8 and and G20 meetings effective international cooperation and legislation to tackle tax evasion, tax fraud, tax havens, and corruption,
- stronger money laundering directive
ELDR:n puoluekokous 8.-10. marraskuuta, Dublin.
