Don’t let other countries bully us

From Advocate Philip Sinel.
I READ with interest the article (JEP, 20 October) quoting the former Senator Walker’s comments in relation to the European Union’s attack on our tax system, from which one derives the fact that having said yes they are now saying no.
What I do not understand is how we have reached the situation where we have made other countries believe that they have a right to interfere in relation to our fiscal system. Our fiscal system has been ours to command and control for over 800 years.
It is for this reason that the Island is outside of the EU policies on social and fiscal harmonisation.
Our subscribing to the European Convention on Human Rights was a good thing. Allowing other countries to bully us in relation to the conduct of our own finances is a very bad thing.
