Nearly five years after the crisis began ballasting to Europe, European leaders are raised for the first time how to enter more, rather than how to spend less, to balance the public accounts. The Heads of State and Government of the EU will try on Wednesday to advance the fight against tax evasion, which annually diverts from public coffers European one trillion euros (equivalent of wealth produced by Spain in a year), according to estimates European Commission. The EU wants to do everything possible to seal the crack. Brussels hopes to get clear commitments by member countries to address this problem, although diplomatic sources warn that more concrete measures will take time to see the light. This is Europe, for better and for worse. More so in a moment of unease in some institutions, with Berlin accusing the Commission of passivity, and Brussels-pointing small mouth-that perhaps the German leadership has gone too far.
Because that is one of the great evils of Europe, above many others. Today, for example, assist States to use abusive impassive make great law firms to minimize your tax bill. The Commission will encourage members to report before the end of the year on which measure "and visible" have been taken to prevent such corporate profits escape taxation. In turn, Brussels agree to review the rules governing the relations between parent companies and their subsidiaries, so as to restrict the transactions to avoid the taxman. The last case is blatant computer giant Apple in the United States, which between 2009 and 2012 has managed to avoid paying taxes in the amount of 74,000 million (57,500 million euros), according to a U.S. Senate report. "Apple sought the holy grail of tax evasion," says the U.S. Senate.

The other lake that States should meet Wednesday refers to the exchange of tax information between countries. So far Austria and Luxembourg have blocked the policy that should allow a Member State to receive data from the accounts of their overseas taxpayers. The competitive advantage that exploit these countries as capital sensors has made so far allergic to transparency. The pressure that has emerged in recent weeks from other Member States could overcome this resistance, according to EU sources. European leaders want to have tied the ends later this year, although to be seen to what degree of commitment.
That automatic exchange of tax information is key for Europe to negotiate with legitimacy similar communication channel with third countries. The European Commission believes that it is very difficult to demand that Switzerland, Monaco or other opaque territories that data stream as the Twenty have asked if the EU "does not have its house in order." In addition, member countries must approve this exchange of information covering as well as the interests of the accounts, other investment income such as dividends.
Easier in theory will agree one of the main sources of tax fraud, VAT. The States Parties undertake to adopt by July quick reaction mechanisms to deal with the frames related to this tax. This is to prevent VAT refunds to businesses that request when there is evidence that they are operations whose sole purpose is to collect those amounts in a country without entering another.
Away from the drama of other summits, the leaders' meeting will tiptoe through several hot spots of the crisis: youth unemployment, the banking union, the cracking of the United Kingdom or the French proposals for economic governance. All that is left for later. The picture is clearer than other times, and also aspects of the fight against tax fraud, the Twenty hardly have plans to address the European energy policy strategy, shining at the moment, by their absence despite the challenges that lie ahead in this field. In the midst of the Great Recession still, the Union only has eyes for the crisis. And at best, for fraud, in view of the cobwebs that have public coffers.
