to the Council
Rule 144
Fabio De Masi (NI)

In the context of the recent Sevilla Platform for Action (SPA), which was presented at the United Nations’ fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, Brazil and Spain have proposed a project to establish an effective system of international tax cooperation. The project aims to enable the effective taxation of high-net-worth individuals by improving information sharing and establishing a global wealth registry. Notably, South Africa has recently joined this platform.

Given the significant implications that this and similar initiatives have for advancing redistributive justice:

• 1.Is this initiative supported by the Council and the Member States?
• 2.What specific measures inspired by the SPA or related initiatives are currently being debated (or have been debated this year) by the Council?
• 3.What concrete steps is the Council planning to take to promote international tax cooperation in this context?
