Condemnation by MEPs and Oxfam prompted by removal of Anguilla, Dominica and Seychelles
EU finance ministers have removed Anguilla, Dominica and Seychelles from the bloc’s blacklist of tax havens, ignoring critics in the European parliament who described the move as wrong and “grotesque” after the Pandora papers revelations.
Meeting in Luxembourg on Tuesday, the bloc’s 27 finance ministers approved a decision to remove the three jurisdictions, saying that while they “do not yet comply with all international tax standards”, they “have committed to implementing tax good-governance principles”.
