Their record over time
National Foreign Trade Council filed 2 positions between 22 Nov 2023 and 30 Mar 2026, across 2 of the 326 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 2 times.
What they argued
As explained in more detail in the attached, fundamental changes to the EU tax system of this magnitude should not be considered prior to assessing the broader context of global tax and economic development. The challenges and uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the Global Minimum Tax Directive, as well as the continued work for the adoption of Pillar One, may hinder the success of the EU marketplace.
