You can accuse Europeans of being many things - except fast.
Everywhere, you have a fatigue for reform... that's very serious.
We never tell countries that they should have a particular number in terms of a tax number, you know, if countries can make do with whatever average tax they have. The question is, do they apply it to everybody? Or do they give sweetheart deals to some companies?
