BRUSSELS, March 20 (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck said on Friday he did not think G20 leaders meeting in London next month would produce a blacklist of tax havens.
"As far as I see, there will be no such list at the London meeting," he said after a meeting of EU leaders in Brussels.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she could not imagine any country that accepted OECD standards for exchanging information on tax matters would be on a blacklist but the mere talk of this "virtual list" had already had positive effects. (Reporting by Kerstin Gehmlich and Paul Taylor)
