## What the amendments focus on

An own-initiative report on financial crimes, tax evasion and tax avoidance. The amendments recall scandals such as LuxLeaks, the Panama and Paradise papers and the cum-ex affair, invoke investigative journalists, and argue that tax rules conceived in the early 20th century need reform to address aggressive tax planning and money laundering, referencing pending Commission proposals on digital taxation and country-by-country reporting.
