    Russian Oligarchs: What we don’t know about what the rich own

    Since the war in Ukraine started, countries have confiscated millions in Russian oligarchs’ assets. But this is just the tip of the iceberg compared to the millions of euros that they own offshore and that have been crucial in sustaining Putin's regime for decades.

    Spot the tax haven? Avoiding the blacklist is a game for zero tax countries

    Kira Peter-Hansen Ernest Urtasun
    Opinion by Kira Peter-Hansen & Ernest Urtasun
    The EU’s latest ‘blacklist’ for tax havens has just been released, but some of the biggest names are not on the list. Greens/EFA MEPs Kira Peter-Hansen and Ernest Urtasun say it's time for the EU to take its own blacklist seriously and stop treating tax avoidance like a game.

    EU condemns unpaid internships

    The European Parliament has passed a resolution on Empowering Youth: post-pandemic employment and social recovery. Unfortunately the Greens/EFA Group proposed an amendment to push for an EU-wide ban on unpaid internships which failed to pass because of the votes against from EPP and Renew.
