Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, said today that his country is ready to leave the bank secrecy if negotiated the exchange of information with countries like Switzerland.
"Let's leave bank secrecy and move towards automatic information exchange," Juncker said on arrival at the European Council in Brussels today, and will be focused on the fight against tax evasion and tax fraud, and enhance energy policies in support of competitiveness, growth and employment.
On arrival in Brussels, Juncker said that the common goal is that this exchange is a reality from January 1, 2015, but stressed that Luxembourg wishes to establish a link between today's decision of the summit of European leaders and negotiation with third countries.
Juncker said his country attaches importance to other states, especially Switzerland, also access to that exchange, because otherwise the situation could suffer from the point of view of competition.

Luxembourg and warned Tuesday that today will not be possible to go beyond the decisions that the Finance Ministers of the EU adopted on 14 May when the European Commission gave a mandate to negotiate with Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco and San new conventions Marino banking information.
However, the Ministers of Economy and Finance no progress in another key, the revised directive on taxation of savings.
EU leaders want to agree this Wednesday bases to intensify the fight against fraud and tax evasion and multinationals exploit loopholes to avoid taxation.
