Rapporteur Herman De Croo

There will be less discussion about this. It is a classic agreement to avoid double taxation, with the understanding that in Tunisia a large number of Belgian companies are active in the textile and leather sectors, as well as in the tourism sector.

It is important that Ms. Detiège reiterated that the anti-fraud measures could have been tightened, but that the agreement provides for a procedure of sanction in some sense in the event of abuse.

The articles did not give rise to debate and were approved with 9 votes for and 1 abstinence.
