(June 9, 2015)

On June 5, 2015 the European Parliament's Special Committee on Tax Rulings and Other Measures Similar in nature or Effect published an overview of multinational corporations invited to the Special Committee’s Hearings/Meetings, the invited representatives as well as the replies the Special Committee received as per June 5, 2015. The score as per June 5, 2015 is: 1 acceptance, 7 declines and still waiting for 7 replies.

Unfortunately the Special Committee did not provide any information regarding the criteria it used to select multinational corporations it invited to attend its Meetings/Hearings.

The list of invited representatives mentions a.o.: Presidents, CEOs and General Directors, but no CFOs, Vice Presidents of Tax or Tax Directors. Unfortunately from the overview it is not clear whether the invited representatives were given the possibility to send an other person to represent them.

According to the overview the reason for a majority of the declines the Special Committee received until June 5, 2015 was that the MNE declined due to ongoing investigation or possible Commission enquiry.
