80. Considers that, in view of studies estimating the annual value of tax fraud and tax avoidance to up to EUR one trillion (1 000 000 000 000), the Member States must ultimately tackle and restrict this practice; takes the view that reducing tax fraud and tax avoidance is fundamental to progress on the consolidation of state budgets; welcomes the recent adoption by the finance ministers of the G20 of new rules drawn up by the OECD on base erosion and profit shifting, which will improve transparency, close loopholes and restrict the use of tax havens; takes the view that, given its degree of integration, the EU must go further than th ...[+++]e proposals presented in the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project in terms of coordination and convergence aimed at avoiding all forms of harmful tax competition within the internal market; stresses, however, that the OECD approach is still based on soft law, and that its action must be complemented by a proper legislative framework at EU level if it is to address the needs of the single market, e.g. in the form of an anti-BEPS directive going beyond the OECD BEPS initiative in areas that are not sufficiently covered; calls for an assessment of the economic, financial and competition-related impact of tax avoidance and tax fraud;

45. Notes also the efforts made through the creation of the Platform for Tax Good Governance, which brings various stakeholders around the same table with the aim of creating consensus around the issue of tax avoidance, in particular in an international context, and the Joint Transfer Pricing Forum, which issues a number of guidelines on the technical issues surrounding transfer pricing; stresses that, to date, these bodies have contributed to making limited corrections to the corporate tax framework; regrets that the guidelines issued by the Joint Transfer Pricing Forum so far have not sufficiently tackled the issue of tax avoidance; ...[+++] deplores the fact that the composition of the Joint Transfer Pricing Forum, despite a recent update of its membership, is still unbalanced; objects, moreover, to the fact that tax experts contribute to the work on guidelines on transfer pricing while, at the same time, they may be advising their clients on aggressive tax planning strategies based on transfer pricing, and thus be in a position of conflict of interest;

11. Asks the Commission to cooperate fully with the OECD, the G20 and developing countries to address base erosion and profit-shifting (BEPS) and to report regularly to Parliament and the Council on the progress made; welcomes the upcoming 2015 revised Commission Action Plan on tax evasion and tax avoidance, and calls on the Commission to come forward with an EU anti-BEPS directive;
