10. Asks the Commission to quickly present a legislative proposal for country-by-country reporting founded on the standards of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and on Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act in the United States; recalls that this was proposed by the Committee on Development as a parliamentary priority within the framework of the structured dialogue on the Commission Work Plan for 2012; urges the Commission to include in its proposal a requirement that extractive companies report on sales and profits, on a country-by-country basis, as well as taxes ...[+++]and revenues, in order to discourage corruption and prevent tax avoidance; stresses that transparency, corporate social responsibility and a functioning administration benefit both extracting companies and the societies of resource-rich developing countries; calls on the Commission to develop a legislative proposal equivalent to Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank act, which requires companies that source minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighbouring countries to demonstrate the steps they are taking to ensure that their purchases of these minerals are not profiting armed groups which commit human rights abuses; in this connection, calls on the European Union and its Member States to bring pressure to bear on European companies operating in developing countries and to set an example of social responsibility and the promotion of decent work;
