20. Notes that research by the IMF covering 51 countries concludes that profit shifting between tax jurisdictions results in an average revenue loss of about 5 % of current corporate income tax revenue – but of almost 13 % in non-OECD countries; notes also that, according to the Commission, econometric evidence shows that FDI’s sensitivity to corporate taxation has increased over time; underlines the fact that, according to a study, an estimated EUR 1 trillion of potential tax revenue is lost each year through the combined effect of tax fraud, tax evasion, including the shadow economy, and tax avoidance in the EU , and that estimates p ...[+++]oint to yearly losses to national budgets of around EUR 50-70 billion as a result of tax avoidance, but that these revenue losses across the EU could in reality amount to around EUR 160-190 billion if special tax arrangements, inefficiencies in collection and other such activities were taken into account ; whereas the UN Commission for Trade and Development has calculated that developing countries lose around USD 100 billion per year in revenues through tax avoidance by MNCs; stresses that these figures should be considered with caution and may underestimate the actual losses to national budgets, given the limited transparency and different accounting and conceptual frameworks around the globe, which affect the availability of comparable and meaningful data and the reliability of any estimate;

78. Stresses, however, that the OECD’s work on its former list of uncooperative tax havens was based on a political process which led to arbitrary compromises already when setting the criteria for the lists, such as the requirement to conclude tax agreements with 12 other countries, and resulted in no jurisdiction being listed as an uncooperative tax haven; stresses that its current approach is still based on criteria which refer to tax transparency and the exchange of information, and are not comprehensive enough to address the harmfulness of certain tax practices; notes that, whatever its merits, this limits the relevance of the OECD’s appro ...[+++]ach to identifying those tax jurisdictions which are pillars of tax avoidance practices and harmful tax competition worldwide; stresses, in particular, that this approach does not refer to any qualitative indicators for an objective assessment of compliance with good governance practices or consider quantitative data such as book profits, incoming and outgoing financial flows and their (dis)connection from the economic reality in a given jurisdiction;
