To draw an analogy, is that not like the argument about nuclear disarmament: we are all in favour of it and will get involved in a long process of negotiating it but meanwhile we had better build as many nuclear weapons as we can? We are talking about getting a new international framework but there is a race to the bottom in respect of corporate tax, to the advantage of the multinationals.
