I am arguing that this law should be apllied to both sides. Now it is one sided.
If every EU citizen (when opening a bank account) has to sign a document that they are or arent an US citizen...
then all americans should also sign a similar document where they confirm if they are or arent EU citizens.
Now USA has a tool to track avoidance but EU doesnt.
EU could just stop sharing this data with USA and demand reciprocation.
Also I dont claim that this helps much, but it feels like EU citizens are second grade citizens in EU.
I somehow doubt that americans have to sign a document that they arent an EU citizen when they open their bank account.
Also lets dont act like EU doesnt have own ammunition. For starters it can stop sharing this information with US.
Both blocks are friends, but come on. EU as a block is second on third in the world per GDP (why wikipedia doesnt show EU as whole block btw).
