Jean-Claude Juncker
“Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” believes that “it is not about criminal offense, but for procedural help. And no one should be surprised if companies use all the possibilities conserve taxes that are offered to them by the state. Now the European Commission manages, supposedly her boss was not a party in all this. “” A Juncker is a walking contradiction. As the head of the Eurogroup did not just anything at all costs to save the euro, but would also ask the cashier banks that participated in the costs of the crisis. This feature Brussels demanded the introduction of tax on financial transactions, and as Prime Minister in Luxembourg voted against it. Juncker was a supporter of tax competition is nothing new or wrong with. Scandalous, however, was the size of gift tax for corporations. The sudden indignation of politicians because of this is a little hypocritical “- he writes.
” Frankfurter Rundschau “indignant in turn, that “corporations and banks apparently have no sense of decency, where about money. There, different, own rules. But decency is a central measure of the behavior of people and politicians. (Jean-Claude) Juncker should think about whether the President of the Commission sufficient to act in accordance with law. “” The Commission is now in any case, before performing has long been overdue task of exposing the theft of tax within the European Union, concealed under the guise of legality. Juncker could help with this, in the end proved that knows this business. However, it would be better without him “- says.
Also capital” Der Tagesspiegel “points out that:” evasion of dollars in taxes, as evidenced by the documents just released an advisory group on the PWC Luxembourg, is a completely legal procedure – and this is the proper scandal. Organized evasion of taxes is not limited to this small principality. “” Well thought-out procedures by which companies convert their revenue generated worldwide on tax-free licensing fees or fictitious interest on loans, also exist in Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK. In this way, attract capital and jobs to their countries – and harm other countries’ – read on.
Official “Neues Deutschland” emphasizes, however, that “the use of various loopholes and lower tax rates in Luxembourg or elsewhere is not actually illegal.” “But now, when it turned out that the sum of the treasury escape outrage in many places enormous. But not everywhere. Jean-Claude Juncker, who for nearly two decades was ruled by a Luxembourg tax haven now, as head of the European Commission would turn against the regulations prevailing in his native country (…). That’s the topic fiscal dumping Juncker should be the leader, “- he added.
Commentator regional newspaper” Landeszeitung ” (Lüneburg) is, in turn convinced that Juncker, European man of conviction, it will be difficult to convincingly prove that he had nothing to do with it. “More embarrassing start as head of the European Commission, it is difficult to imagine. As a person calling for solidarity in Europe Juncker will in future issue. In other words – it is against the wall “- says.
Another regional newspaper,” Hessian Niedersächsische Allgemeine ” concludes: “losses due to unpaid taxes at the Luxembourg European partners could reach hundreds of billions of euros. With this money could I save each year some of Greece. “You can see now where does incredibly high GDP of Luxembourg. Why is it that all Europeans have to sacrifice social benefits only because the profit model of Luxembourg is to assist corporations in the evasion of taxes? The result is a loss of confidence. First you have to come up with something like this: as European Commission President Juncker has indeed explain their own scandals, do not want, however, to the mix. And as a former prime minister has nothing to say. Poor, Europe – does not deserve to such Europeans “-przekonuje.
