Some keynotes:

- Technical services should be central on how authorities provide services to their people
- The biggest challenge is that every country is doing something different
- Businesses have to monitor developments which are often published in local language
- Governments collect more and more data, do they really need all these data?
- Governments and business need to work together on reporting obligations
- Authorities should use the invoicing processes to simplify doing business
- More real time reporting will make our tax systems more efficient and effective
