The potential of small family and traditional businesses to boost development and economic growth in the regions (own-initiative opinion)

verabschiedet on 18/10/2017
Referenz: 
ECO/433-EESC-2017-01106-00-00-ac-tra
Rapporteur: 
Dimitris DIMITRIADIS (Employers - GR I / Greece)

A number of topical industrial developments and trends are currently at the focus of attention. At the same time it should be recognised that people must live everywhere in Europe, including in many regions that these innovative trends are not likely to reach even in the next 50 years. Without undermining their importance and while supporting the political efforts promoting these trends, it is necessary to recall that these businesses are the key element in the creation of new activity and value in resource-constrained areas and are crucial to enhancing economic prosperity and cohesion across Europe. Against this background, the main objective of the opinion is to identify and analyse the particular challenges these businesses face and find solutions and possibilities to support them.

EU development partnerships and the challenge posed by international tax agreements (own-initiative opinion)

verabschiedet on 18/10/2017
Referenz: 
REX/487-EESC-2017
Rapporteur: 
Alfred GAJDOSIK (Austria)
Co-rapporteur: 
Thomas WAGNSONNER (Workers - GR II/Austria)

The EESC is a strong advocate of a fair, well-administered and sustainable development policy at EU level. It is also very committed to the cause of greater tax justice. In recent years, questions have been raised as to whether the international tax policies of the Member States, in particular the concluding of certain types of double taxation agreements, are consistent with EU development policy objectives.
