France's Minister Bruno Le Maire wants EU governments to adopt updated tax haven blacklist

France's Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said he wanted EU governments to adopt an updated tax haven blacklist at a meeting in Brussels on Tuesday.

"France wants the list to be adopted today," he told reporters. The chairman of the meeting, Romania's Finance Minister Eugen Teodorovici said earlier on Tuesday that he believed adoption of the list would be postponed because of divisions among EU states on the listing of some jurisdictions.
