"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I think today’s topic is a fundamental issue because it concerns not only financial taxation, but also an important market topic. Through Eurobonds – we must distinguish between Eurobonds and project bonds – the time has come to develop and drive our economy through the fund known as the project bond, in particular, trans-European infrastructures in the transport, energy and telecommunications sectors, backed by research and innovation.
We must lead the way in these areas: this is the underlying theme of today and hence, the change of pace. When we speak of the Union method, which is on all our lips, this is an opportunity to give it some substance. Unemployment is today’s real social problem; this is our task today.
When we charge taxes, whether throughout the world, or only in Europe, I believe we make our companies less competitive. When we decide to make the increase, as well as being difficult to apply – because we want to hit only those who are speculating, but we shall not succeed – we shall not succeed because it is difficult to apply and we must do it at the G20 level. Finally, as regards carbon taxes, I believe that the taxes should not be increased but regularised."@en1
