The leaders of France and Germany have called jointly for eurozone countries to have common corporation and financial transaction taxes.The tax policy would apply only to the 17-member eurozone. France has long complained about Ireland's low corporation tax rate of 12.5%.
The proposal came in a letter to European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, on the eve of a key EU summit.
Both countries want changes to the EU treaties to enforce budget discipline. source
