lpv:translated text	"Today, the European Parliament is sending out a strong signal to the G20 but, in particular, to the European Heads of State or Government. We have always been, and remain, in favour of the introduction of a financial transaction tax at a global level, but if that cannot be achieved in the short term, then the EU should act independently to take its share of the responsibility. We are assuming that the Commission will shortly produce a study and, subsequent to that, a specific legislative proposal. A financial transaction tax is the best tool for protecting against speculation in the markets and for financing global public goods. However, at the same time, it could also be an effective tool for supporting proactive economic recovery in Europe. At this juncture, I would also like to point out that those who always claim that the European integration project is an anti-social project could perhaps tone it down a little from today onwards. Because – in the words of Oxfam – ‘The European Parliament is today setting a world standard by pressing for a European Robin Hood tax’."@en1
