You're turning the argument over to Mr. Owens of the OECD.
You said that there are 600 agreements relating to the information and that they're signing them like they're going out of style. At the same time, it seems that a country that signs a dozen of them is avoiding this type of list. Previously they were corporate bonds, and now they are tax havens.
On the one hand, is this not too little? But on the other, there is a type of system where, if you sign an inter-country information agreement, users from those countries are exempted from taxes. It seems to me that, today, thanks to all the methods of communication and all the information equipment we have, it is easier than ever to get information. Don't you find that the cost-benefit analysis…
We sign an information agreement to ensure that companies using these former tax havens are not taxed. It seems to me that it costs far too much to obtain information after the fact that poses some difficulty. In fact, the name, address, telephone number and name of the bank seem to be a little basic.
What do you think, Mr. Owens?
