Petr Ježek
Born in Prague in 1965. A graduate of Prague’s University of Economics, Petr Ježek joined his country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as a diplomat. For some ten years, he held relatively high posts related to the country’s ties with the EU, e.g. heading the Foreign Ministry’s European Integration Department and serving as Deputy State Secretary for European Affairs. He also worked as chief of staff of then Czech Prime Minister Vladimír Špidla. In 2014, Petr Ježek was elected Member of the European Parliament on the ballot of the ANO 2011 party.

After 8 months of work, The European Parliament’s special committee on tax rulings (TAXE) approved on Monday a key report on tax ruling practices, calling for a fair and transparent EU framework that prevents companies to engage in harmful tax avoidance schemes.
The report underlines the negative impact of aggressive tax planning on public finances, and seeks to set equal rules for small and medium enterprises as well as large corporations.
“This is an ambitious report, which fully echoes the stance the European Commission took last week regarding Fiat and Starbucks tax deals. It makes it clear that the EU won't accept anymore that multinationals can benefit from privileged tax rates under the framework of state aid, while SME and citizens struggle to pay their tax bill”, Petr Ježek said.
