#EU lobbying should be:
1) Fully transparent
2) Free of conflicts of interest (i.e. you can't be a corporate #tax adviser, and at the same time a 'neutral' consultant receiving large sums of money to help the @EU_Commission on tax policy) #TaxJusticehttps://www.ft.com/content/56f862ee-8392-11e8-96dd-fa565ec55929?desktop=true&segmentId=7c8f09b9-9b61-4fbb-9430-9208a9e233c8#myft:notification:daily-email:content …

I didn't think the argument was that resources were low. Rather that big 4 were being paid mns. Civil servants should have the capacity to assess policy, but some surveys and research always likely to be outsourced. Barring work involving tax practitioners seems strange
Studies are published. If Deloitte are introducing loopholes via the study we ought to be able to see where i.e. is this study problematic or just who did it? https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/e7dbd290-c682-11e6-a6db-01aa75ed71a1 …

Well, 1) If no one else has the resources to perform the study, it seems unlikely that anyone has resources to check and challenge the conclusions. This includes the public institution that outsourced the job 2) We’d still be missing a neutral assessment to inform policy makers

Sorry that is really week. People check and challenge studies all the time (I wish they did it more!) - e.g. surveys, clinical studies etc... you don't have to have the wherewithal to do the blood tests yourself, or whatever to read the study and judge its findings and validity
