The European Commission

announced this Monday that it is putting aside its proposal for a European digital tax to focus efforts on advancing the principle of a global agreement on taxation for multinationals achieved over the weekend by the G20 and which will be examined in October by the OECD.

"Successfully concluding this process will require a final effort from all parties and the Commission is committed to focusing on this effort, which is why we have decided to suspend work on a digital rate proposal," said the economic spokesman for the Community Executive,

Daniel Ferrie

, at a press conference in Brussels, in statements collected by Europa Press.

The spokesman has insisted that the priority is the agreement within the OECD, so he does not have a precise date on when Brussels thinks it will recover this initiative, although he has pointed out that it will be in "autumn" when they re-evaluate the situation .

This weekend's pact at the G20 held in Venice (Italy) is a "historic" agreement to create a "stable and fair" tax system, considered Ferrie, who stressed that in the eyes of the Community Executive it is a " extraordinary result after years of negotiation "for which Brussels itself has worked" tirelessly ".
