As trade unions representing public service workers, we believe that respect for tax obligations, transparency, and social responsibility must be essential criteria when awarding public contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Union Syndicale F\u00e9d\u00e9rale fully supports the position taken by EPSU and its affiliates following the publication of <a href=\"https:\/\/unionsyndicale.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CICTAR_Palantir.pdf\">the new CICTAR report on Palantir&#8217;s<\/a> tax practices in Europe. According to the report, the company has benefited from significant public contracts across Europe while paying little to no corporate tax through profit-shifting and other tax avoidance mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore stand with EPSU in calling for stronger EU public procurement rules, greater tax transparency, and measures to ensure that public funds support companies that contribute fairly to the financing of public services.<\/p>\n<p>We invite our members and readers to discover the findings of the report and the recommendations put forward by EPSU and CICTAR.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the full EPSU article and report here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epsu.org\/article\/palantir-pays-almost-no-corporate-tax-europe-while-benefitting-public-contracts-new-report\">EPSU &#8211; Palantir pays almost no corporate tax in Europe while benefitting from public contracts<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium with_line width_50 thick_3 style_solid color_primary align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Union Syndicale F\u00e9d\u00e9rale stands with EPSU in calling for stronger EU public procurement rules and greater tax transparency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"dossier-special":[],"class_list":["post-9088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
