## What the amendments focus on

The dossier concerns a Statute for a European Foundation (FE). The amendments support public-benefit foundations working in education, arts and culture, research and social provision, seek to remove legal, tax and administrative barriers to cross-border activity through a non-discrimination tax rule rather than tax harmonisation, set transparency, accountability and supervision standards, a minimum level of assets and audited annual accounts, and call for clarifying the notion of public benefit.
