EU publishes blacklist of 17 tax havens
By EUobserver
EU finance ministers adopted on Tuesday a blacklist of 17 countries and territories that do not cooperate in the fight against tax evasion and tax avoidance. A second, so-called 'grey list' of 47 countries, includes entities that have made commitments but still have to meet them. Ministers will discuss later what kind of sanctions could be applied against countries that do not respect their commitments.
