The papers, compiled by an international consortium of investigative journalists, show how the super-rich shelter their wealth offshore and, in some cases, minimise their tax bills. &nbsp;

The European Parliament has, for many years, been in the forefront of the fight against money laundering and tax avoidance and evasion. Its recommendations to counter these practices were drawn up by a special committee on tax evasion (TAXE 2) and set out in a resolution voted on 6 July 2016.

"EU Road Safety Policy Framework 2021-2030" - This infoclip illustrates police controls, alcohool and drugs tests, motordrivers, pedestrians and bikers. It also illustrates traffic on highways and 30km/h signs.The Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted an own-initiative report by Elena KOUNTOURA (GUE/NGL, EL) on the EU road safety policy framework 2021-2030 - Recommendations on the next steps towards ‘Vision Zero’.Every year around 22 700 people still lose their lives on EU roads and around 120 000 are seriously injured. More than 11 800 children and youngsters up to the age of 17 have been killed in road traffic collisions in the EU over the last 10 years. Progress in reducing EU fatality rates has stagnated in recent years. The EU's long-term vision should therefore be to come as close as possible to ‘zero deaths’ on the roads by 2050 (Vision Zero).

Nach den Paradise Papers Datenlecks werden die Abgeordneten höchstwahrscheinlich die Einrichtung eines eigenen Untersuchungsausschusses und letztendlich eines ständigen Ausschusses fordern, um die Rechtsbrüche im Steuerbereich ans Licht zu bringen. Über die endgültigen Empfehlungen des Untersuchungsausschusses für Geldwäsche, Steuerhinterziehung und Steuerflucht (PANA) wird in der Dezember-Plenartagung abgestimmt. Sie sollen die Umsetzung von Gesetzen zur Bekämpfung von Geldwäsche beschleunigen.

Steuerflucht braucht ständige Ermittlung
