Such a globally representative forum on taxation should not only serve as a venue for inter-governmental cooperation; it should also support a broader, more inclusive debate on tax reform. For too long, such discussions have been the preserve of closed-door negotiations among governments and large corporations, with the topic considered too technical for the general public to understand.
这一具有全球代表性的税收论坛不应该只是作为跨政府合作的场合；它还应该支持更广泛、更包容的税收改革争论。长久以来，类似的讨论一直是政府和大公司间的闭门磋商，这一问题被认为技术性太强，普通大众无法理解。
