On May 14, the European Commission confirmed the renewed selection of CESI as a non-governmental member of the EU Platform for Tax Good Governance, Aggressive Tax Planning and Double Taxation – an expert group which advises the European Commission on the desirability, feasibility and practicability of new measures for additional transparency in European and international tax matters. CESI welcomes the decision as a confirmation of the trusted expertise it can provide to policymakers in the area of fair and effective taxation.

Representing trade unions of tax administration personnel from countries across the EU, CESI has been a member of the Platform already since 2014. In accordance with Commission Decision 2019/C 428/08 on the renewal of the platform, the new term of office of CESI will run until at least October 31, 2022.

CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger welcomed the decision of the European Commission: “As a representative of employees in tax administrations across Europe, CESI has been committed to greater transparency and fairness in European and international taxation for many years. We welcome that the European Commission continues to count on the expertise of CESI also in the future.”
