(...) The basic idea around the new deal is that inter-state tax competition will be limited to prevent a “race to the bottom”. (...) Implementing the global tax deal stipulates that countries would have to remove all unilateral DSTs and similar measures.

(...) I rather see a pragmatic approach that more time is needed in order to deal with the unfinished business that our Ministers gave us in Cancún and that we have tried to implement over the last few weeks. (...) There is a willingness to restart the work of the negotiating groups as well as other bodies which have to deal with the Doha agenda, on the understanding that restarting this work does not in any way mean losing an overview of the process or a sense of the horizontal integration of issues, which in my view remains an essential ingredient for success.

The Dismissal of the Application The federal anti-monopoly body is entitled to dismiss the application for a preliminary consent to the implementation of the deals specified in Article 16 of the present Federal Law if the satisfaction of the application could lead to the occurrence or enhancement of a dominating position of the parties to the deals and to the limitation of competition on the financial services market. (...) The federal anti-monopoly body may satisfy the application for a preliminary consent to the implementation of the deals specified in Article 16 of the present Federal Law in the following cases: if the parties to the deal, given the possibility of the limitation of competition on a financial services market, manage to prove that the positive effect of the deals including social and economic effect is going to exceed the negative consequences for the financial services market; if the parties to the deal manage to prove that the ownership of the shares (stakes in the authorized capital) of the financial organization is related exclusively to receiving earnings from them. (...) The federal anti-monopoly body is not entitled to demand that the parties to the deals provide other documents and information. Upon the scrutiny of the notice and all the necessary documents the federal anti-monopoly body shall within 30 days after the receipt of all the necessary information, if signs are available that the deals of which it has been notified can lead to the occurrence or enhancement of a dominating position of a financial organization, limitation of competition, adopt a substantiated decision to recognize the deals either as lawful or as limiting competition on the financial services market and shall forward the decision to the applicant. 3.
