Perceptions of tax fairness in Europe: Are the rich paying their way?
Perceptions of tax fairness in Europe: Are the rich paying their way?
Perceptions of tax fairness are generally higher in Nordic and Western European countries, while they tend to be lower in Eastern Europe. Experts attribute this gap to the quality of public services and the tax system’s capacity to redistribute wealth.

A piece of #SeikenDensetsu artwork by Hitoshi Yoneda, most likely used on a book. Removed the text (which refers to Chapter 1), applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process. If anyone has some info on this, please share!
Seiken Densetsu clean artwork by Hitoshi Yoneda, most likely used on a book. Image depicts the two main characters, Sumo and Fuji, staring at a vast green valley where a castle can be seen at the end of a winding road. Further back in a mountain, a fortress can be seen up top. Sumo is pointing in the direction of the castle.

Europe is ready to take on cyberbullying and the addictive designs that trap children in endless scrolling.

We need to protect our children.

We'll assess what steps we can take at EU level.
