Unanimity leads to more complicated, slower and poorer quality outcomes. And it sacrifices the general interest on the altar of national sovereignty. But before you all jump in, don’t worry - I’m leaving! And I accept that views differ here 😉 /11

Packed room at our #BrusselsCalling media debate on #Climate & #Sustainability this morning w/ @MehreenKhn, @MatinaStevis, @FredSimonEU & @paola_tamma

[Jean Quatremer @quatremer]

Thierry Breton a choisi son chef de cabinet: le Français Valère Moutarlier, actuellement directeur à la Commission. Le commissaire au marché intérieur a choisi un vrai européen et surtout un homme indépendant des magouilles internes (et pas un homme de Selmayr, ça nous change)

"If you say no to the legal basis, you say no to the substance and no to [tax] transparency". Strong statement by @simonkollerup 🇩🇰 who "strongly encourages" his fellow Ministers to agree on a common position on public #CbCR

[EU Council Press @EUCouncilPress]

The #COMPET #CBCR session is live now!

@Malik_CoE @UNCTAD Et pourtant certains essaient encore de faire passer du Grana Padano pour du Parmigiano ... en 2019 ... on ne peut vraiment faire confiance à PERSONNE.

Call it a red herring 🐠 or a sitting duck🦆, #Brussels has had enough of scapegoating by EU countries, and is keen to let everyone know 🐐 Have a glimpse of the #EUblamegame in our latest insight by @BarryFrancois: https://t.co/2lZCd4Nul6

Excellent insights from @BarryFrancois on @EU_Commission upping its #communications game against the Council

@DanNeidle @pierremoscovici @Bruegel_org Indeed possibly, well spotted!

[François Barry @BarryFrancois]

Strong, opinionated words by @pierremoscovici. Keeping #unanimity rule on #tax matters allegedly to safeguard national sovereignty is “a fraud argument and a false excuse by some EU countries to preserve tax frameworks on the edge of legality” #BruegelEvent @Bruegel_org

[François Barry @BarryFrancois]

How come countries like France/Germany allow that others, notably Ireland, keep blocking tax reforms in @EUCouncil, @sven_giegold asks. Contrary to what they say, #TaxAvoidance is just "not a priority for Member States. If it were, it would have ended already." @GreensEP

[François Barry @BarryFrancois]

Too many EU countries like to “talk single market” but actually refuse to “walk single market” in practice, says @EBienkowskaEU at #EuroCommerce25

Note by the Austrian EU Presidency for the EU informal ECOFIN-meeting this week regarding the proposals on taxation of digital economy #EUtax #DigitalTax https://t.co/LBEL0mRgIH

[SEC Newgate EU @SECNewgateEU]

The College of Commissioners "collectively is responsible for the maladministration" in #Selmayrgate, says @EUombudsman in audacious statement. It is "extraordinary that no Commissioner seemed to question" the Sec-Gen appointment procedure.

@digitalgiamma @Malik_CoE @NrubinD I have too little recollection of what has happened in that bus to actually be able to write about it
