Cameron urges EU leaders to reach decision on tax evasion before G8

UK Prime minister David Cameron on the 24 April 2013 called for his peers in the European Council to take decisive action on tax evasion before the G8 summit in June.

“Tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance are global problems that require truly global solutions,” Cameron wrote in a letter to European Council President, Commission President José Manuel Barroso and the leaders of the other 26 member states.
