Austria has joined its EU partners in calling for a crackdown on tax evasion, despite the country's banking secrecy.

Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said Europe must do more than exchange information about bank accounts.

European leaders are discussing how to prevent tax evasion by multinational companies and rich executives.

As they arrived for the talks in Brussels several leaders stressed the need for tax fairness, saying big earners must not get off lightly.

Some multinationals have taken advantage of a favourable tax regime in the Netherlands, and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said tax changes must be tackled at a global level. He said he would veto any proposals that were not in his country's interests.
