Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is analyzing the EU black list initiative, aimed at neutralizing the influence of tax havens. The paper presents the Polish procedures of establishing the national black list and the mechanism of creating the 2015 pan-European list of countries that do not apply the international standards of transparency and exchange of tax information. Next, the article analyzes the consequences of the publication of the common European black list – the reactions of third countries and the future plans of the European Union, projected in order to make the fight against tax avoidance and evasion more effective. The case of Panama Papers, quoted in the last part of the article, further confirms the necessity of implementing consistent procedures and common protective measures towards the non-cooperating territories.
