Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs

1:00 pm

Mr. Pierre Moscovici:

This is a fundamental political debate. I repeat that nothing erodes national sovereignty of Ireland as far as tax is concerned.

However, I would not oppose sovereignty and co-operation. Therefore, one can, with one's own sovereignty, decide to co-operate with others.
