　　“The concern is that when they are going after inversions it will have unintended consequences,creating disincentives for inbound investment, which is important for our economy,” he told theFinancial Times. “It’s a baby and the bathwater issue.”

　　“令人担忧的是，在打击税收倒置的时候，会产生一些意外后果，导致企业不愿对美国投资，而投资对我们的经济非常重要。”他向英国《金融时报》表示，“这是个洗澡水和孩子的问题。”

　　Eric Toder, co-director of the Tax Policy Center, a non-partisan think-tank, said Europeancompanies should be nervous. “Once there’s a focus on how inverted companies are avoidingtax, there will inevitably be a focus on other foreign-based companies doing the same thing.”

　　无党派智库——税收政策中心(Tax Policy Center)副主任埃里克•托德(Eric Toder)表示，欧盟企业应该感到紧张。“一旦人们开始关注企业用税收倒置来避税，企业总部位于海外、运作方法相同的企业也必然会受到关注。”

　　Shell and BASF said they backed lobbying on the issue. Airbus added: “It’s important that anylegislation or other action be carefully crafted with an eye to ensuring investments in the USare not discouraged.”

　　荷兰皇家壳牌和巴斯夫表示，他们支持了对这个问题的游说。空客补充表示：“任何立法和其他行为在设计时都必须小心，注意确保不会阻碍对美国的投资，这很重要。”

　　Thirteen inversion deals have been announced since the start of 2013 – including BurgerKing’s $11.4bn acquisition of the Canadian coffee shop chain Tim Hortons – with a combinedvaluation of $178bn, according to Dealogic.

　　Dealogic数据显示，自2013年初以来，已有13笔税收倒置交易公布，总价值达1780亿美元，其中包括汉堡王(Burger King)以114亿美元收购加拿大咖啡店连锁提姆霍顿(Tim Hortons)。
