In its recent > publication, "Towards Global Tax Cooperation," the OECD called on member > nations to eliminate "harmful tax practices" low-tax policies that attract > investment from overseas. The OECD also demanded that low-tax nations > (so-called tax havens) agree to dismantle financial privacy or face > financial protectionism.
