ECOFIN, Arrival and doorstep statement, 23.01.2018
23.01.2018
Vladislav Goranov: It is a very important day for us, because it’s the First ECOFIN meeting under the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU. At the beginning, I will present our priorities to my colleagues. Of course, the main discussion would be the deepening of the EMU (Economic and Monetary Union.) and some tax related issues. We expect an update of the list of non-cooperative jurisdictions. Of course NPLs remains a big issue for us and we will see the recent developments in this area. This is all in brief and I welcome you at the press conference after the meeting.
Journalist: Regarding the tax evading does it make sense to take Panama out of blackness?
Vladislav Goranov: We will discuss it during the Council and then we will be able to answer all of your questions.
