Press Release: Economic affairs MEPs ask EU Commission to table corporate tax measures

The European Parliament's economic and monetary affairs committee approved legislative recommendations on 1 December 2015 asking the European Commission to propose measures to improve corporate tax transparency, coordination and EU-wide policy convergence.

These recommendations built on the work of the EP's special committee on tax rulings, set up in the wake of the 'LuxLeaks' revelations, whose recommendations had been approved at the plenary session on 25 November.
