“Ukraine has a very powerful Association of Taxpayers, and who better to be the fifth vice president of the TAE than Grigol Katamadze? He is to continue to do what he does in Ukraine, but at the European level. We have to think of how to cut back on red tape, implement our ideas of a free market economy and tax reduction. What is appropriate for Europe works for Ukraine and other countries”, Michael Jaeger said.

Also, the European Economic Senate and the All-Ukrainian public organization “Association of Taxpayers of Ukraine” have signed the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement as part of the Forum.
