SUMMARY:Boosting competitiveness through evidence-based taxation policies
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, ECR MEP Tobiasz Bocheński will host a roundtable discussion together with the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers. \nThe discussion will focus on boosting competitiveness through evidence-based taxation policies\, while balancing policy ambitions with economic realities. \nWhile taxation can support the EU’s public policy objectives\, it must also safeguard Europe’s long-term competitiveness. As legislators consider new and expanded Own Resources for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF)\, tax measures must be evidence-based and account for their impact on businesses and consumers. This requires consideration of affordability\, differences in purchasing power across Member States\, and the principle of subsidiarity. \nThis policy discussion will bring together policymakers\, industry representatives\, and academics to examine how EU taxation can support the Single Market and European competitiveness. Speakers will discuss proportionate taxation\, unintended consequences such as market distortions and illicit trade\, and the importance of robust impact assessments for predictable\, investment-friendly legislation. Particular attention will be paid to the Own Resources proposed for the 2028–2034 MFF as a case study for the broader EU taxation framework. \nWhen: Thursday\, 15 October @ 14:30-16.00 \nWhere: SPINELLI 1H1 \n  \nAGENDA:\n14:30-14:35 \nWelcome and Opening: Tobiasz BOCHEŃSKI\, ECR\, Member of the BUDG Committee\, European Parliament \n14:35-15:00 \nKeynote speeches: \n\nClaes BENGTSSON\, Principal Adviser\, Strategy and Economic Analysis Coordination\, DG TAXUD\, European Commission\nKarol KEMPIŃSKI\, Budget Attaché\, Permanent Representation of Poland to the EU\n\n15:00-15:10 \nSpecial remarks: \n\nAlexandre ADAM\, Deputy Head of President von der Leyen’s Cabinet\, European Commission TBC\n\n15:10-16:00 \nInterventions: \n\nRoel DOM\, Research Fellow\, Bruegel\nMichael JÄGER\, President\, Taxpayers Association for Europe\nLusyne KESZISZJAN-HÜLLEN\, Brussels Office Director\, Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers\nDonato RAPONI\, Tax Consultant and formerly DG TAXUD\, D.Raponi Consulting\n\nModeration: Elodie LAMER\, Senior Reporter\, Tax Analysts
