Austria’s Finance Minister Maria Fekter said her French counterpart told her today that Budget Minister Bernard Cazeneuve didn’t intend to threaten blacklisting the Alpine nation as non-cooperative in tax matters.
“Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici approached me and made it clear that his colleague, who has only been in his job for 15 days, didn’t really mean it when he spoke of putting Austria on a black list,” Fekter told reporters in Dublin after a meeting of euro region finance ministers.
