Hans-Rudolf Merz, finance minister for Switzerland, said he will be engaging in discussions with Peer Steinbrueck over the next few weeks 'in the spirit of friendship', according to afxnews.com
Steinbrueck is encouraging the OECD to include Switzerland on the OECD's tax haven blacklist, joining the likes of Monaco, Andorra and Liechtenstein.
