...Commenting in the context of the debate on the summit, Greens/EFA co-president Rebecca Harms said: "Tax evasion and avoidance deprives exchequers in EU member states of €1 trillion in revenue per year, according to the EUEU Commission. The failure to address this problem in the context of the current economic crisis is scandalous, all the more so given the growing acceptance that the exclusive preoccupation with contracting public spending has exacerbated problems in crisis countries. Robust action on tax avoidance would counterbalance this and EU leaders must finally agree concrete measures to this end." Commenting after the vote on the EP report, Green economic affairs spokesperson Bas Eickhout stated:
