Obviously, the line Minister supported this initiative and the Government signed off on this recent opinion at the time it was issued by the Dáil. I am asking about this in order to go through some of the issues. It is stated that it is not established by the Commission's proposals or impact assessment that 27 different national corporate tax systems inherently impede the proper functioning of the internal market . In effect, the proposal would introduce a second parallel system for operation within each member state that would not improve the simplicity and efficiency of the corporate tax systems in the EU. Is that something Mr. Hession would subscribe?
