Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Is it the intention that the OECD and EU proposals will be aligned, that is, there will be no unilateral action at EU level? Is it the Government's position that this issue needs to be dealt with on a multilateral basis that extends beyond the European Union? Will the Minister confirm that he has received a briefing document from Revenue on the emerging digital revenue proposals from some of the larger EU member states, including France and Germany? It has been reported that Revenue has made it clear that it is likely Ireland would be the worst hit eurozone state by the proposals. Is the Minister against the proposals emerging from the European Union or which have been articulated by some of the larger member states?

Will he stick to the position that there should be no unilateral action at EU level?
