European Commission and Paul Whitfield

Guernsey: The chief executive officer of the States of Guernsey, Paul Whitfield, said: It is technically inaccurate; it is not factually correct and we need to address it quickly, according to The Independent. It is well known Guernsey meets every international standard on tax transparency and co-operating including the European Commission own standards. Even more galling for the accountants who work on the island, the blacklist fails to include other offshore rivals such as neighbouring Jersey. I think this is just a lack of understanding about our constitution. However the list does includes six British overseas territories – the British Virgin Islands, Montserrat, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Anguilla, and the Turks and Caicos. Guernsey is the only crown dependency on the European Commission list. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
