New rules to facilitate damage claims for antitrust law violations

27 Mar, 2014

The Committee of Permanent Representatives endorsed (26 March) an agreement between the Greek Presidency of the Council and European Parliament representatives laying down new rules aimed at facilitating damage claims by victims of antitrust violations. The new directive will harmonise and ensure the effective enforcement of antitrust damages rules within the EU, thereby allowing the victims of a cartel to receive full compensation for both the actual loss suffered and for lost profits.

Statement by ECOFIN President Yannis Stournaras on adoption of amended Savings Taxation Directive

24 Mar, 2014

I welcome today’s adoption by the AGRIFISH Council of the Directive amending the EU rules on the taxation of savings income.
 
This has been a priority of the Greek Presidency, as the amended Directive allows for the extension of the scope to a wider range of savings products and strengthens its effective application, enhancing therefore tax transparency and making a big step forward for the fight against  tax fraud and evasion, and, indeed, tax fairness and social justice.
