Euranet Special: Remarkable Women & Their Success Stories

Women Inspiring Europe

18.01.2012 | Author(s): Euranet | 0 |

Women across Europe are inspiring others to succeed in business, politics and other fields.

The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) has launched a new calendar, featuring 12 of Europe's most remarkable female personalities and highlighting their achievements and successes. But they are just a few of the many European women who are leading the way and inspiring others to take action. Euranet pays homage to some of Europe's most remarkable women and their contributions to promoting gender equality.

Tax evasion

11.01.2012 | Author(s): Euranet | 0 |

Tax evasion is growing across Europe, angering citizens as governments and EU institutions seek solidarity to solve the Eurozone crisis.

Greece and Italy top the list of European countries where tax evasion is rife. Finance Police identified €50bn in unpaid tax in Italy last year, with the government promising tough measures to end the scourge; and Greece has lost €60bn in unpaid taxes, half through cases of evasion, according to the EU’s expert group assisting the Athens government. Euranet takes a look at tax evasion in the European Union and asks whether national governments are protecting the interests of all their citizens.
