Criticisms have been levelled at Juncker recently following revelations that many companies were allowed to evade tax in Luxembourg during his leadership.
“If he has not broken the law, I do not see any objection to why he should not continue,” said Stubb in response to a question by former development minister Pekka Haavisto, who questioned the credibility of Juncker after the matter had become public.
Stubb admitted that many EU member countries knew about the practice when Juncker was the prime minister and finance minister of Luxemburg.
According to Stubb’s assessment, a lively debate on Juncker’s position is expected to take place in the European Parliament.
