Jean-Claude Juncker, Europako Komisioko presidente berriari leporatzen diote ehundaka konpainiak Luxenburgorekin negoziatu dituztela isilpeko akordioak, alegia, zerga-mozketei buruzko isilpeko akordioak[1].
Juncker Luxenburgoko lehen ministroa izan da 1995etik 2013ra, 18 urtetan.
International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) delako taldearen txosten baten arabera[2], Munduko konpainiarik handienetako batzuek (Pepsi, HSBC, Amazon, eta IKEA, barne) milioika dolar aurreztu zituzten, zergak ez ordaintzean[3].
Juncker-ek Bruselan azken uztailean honela zioen:
“… fight tax evasion and tax dumping… We will try to put some morality, some ethics, into the European tax landscape.”
Eta orain dela gutxi, Alemaniako TV batean[4] hauxe:
“No one has ever been able to make a convincing and thorough case to me that Luxembourg is a tax haven. Luxembourg employs tax rules that are in full accordance with European law.”
Baliteke Luxenburgoko zerga sistema oso legala izatea europar legeekiko, baina europar zerga-sisteman bertan ‘moralitatea’ jarriko duela onartzea zaila da.
Kontraesana ote Juncker-en bi aipu horien artean?
Argi dezala Europako Komisioko presidenteak berak!
Astirik badauka eta.
