Slightly disagree

No

While the EPP might not fully oppose the idea of citizens investing their money as they see fit, including in offshore accounts, they would likely advocate for measures that ensure such practices do not facilitate tax evasion or money laundering. Therefore, a blanket prohibition might be seen as too extreme, but they would lean towards regulation.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) generally supports free market principles but also emphasizes the importance of regulation and compliance with tax laws. Allowing unrestricted use of offshore bank accounts could undermine tax compliance and transparency, which are values the EPP has historically supported, especially in the context of efforts to combat tax evasion within the EU.
