5/L'UE devra donc manier avec prudence la menace d'une taxe numérique européenne: l'utiliser comme levier dans les négociations commerciales, tout en affichant sa volonté de l'abandonner si Washington accepte de rouvrir les discussions sur le pilier 1 de l'accord OCDE

4/Certes, il semble hautement improbable que Trump relance une dynamique multilatérale. Mais l'UE ne devrait pas fermer la porte à une future coopération en cas de revirement politique aux États-Unis..

3/En decouplant l'idée d'une taxe numérique européenne des négociations de l'OCDE et la liant aux discussions commerciales bilatérales entre l'UE et les États-Unis l'UE prend le risque d'enterrer tout espoir d'adopter le pilier 1 dans l'avenir

2/mais il ne faut pas oublier que le pilier 1 de l'accord de l'OCDE visait à remplacer les différentes taxes sur les services numériques existantes (aujourd'hui, tous les grands États membres de l'UE, à l'exception de l'Allemagne, en ont une)

1/ L'Union européenne a toute la légitimité pour agir : les grandes entreprises numériques américaines continuent de payer en Europe des taux d'imposition bien inférieurs à ceux des entreprises traditionnelles.

Without reforms, CAP transfers would increase by 22-25%. Ukraine would become their main beneficiary, given the scale of its agricultural sector (see this excellent study by @eulaliarubio.bsky.social & al www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en... )...

An alternative would be to unite forces and apply these taxing rights together, establishing a common EU border tax as proposed by Pascal Saint Amans some time ago-this would have the additional advantage of creating new revenues for the common EU budget

Broader border taxes: a new option for European Union budget resources
The purpose of this paper is to review the Commission’s proposal and to contribute new ideas for ‘genuine’ own resources

The question is to which extent EU countries will dare to exert their taxing rights on US multinationals if they are taxed below 15%, or will refrain from doing it, for fear of Trump's retaliatory measures.

Notice that the EU has already adopted pillar 2 of the OECD tax deal. This imposes a minimum 15% tax on EU multinationals but also gives EU countries the possibility to tax collect a "top-up" tax from U.S. multinationals if paying a lower rate in the US

9/Also worth noting that the study is the second part of a broader research drawing lessons from the implementation of various EU temporary instruments set up in response to Covid-19 - you can find part I here: europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etud...
