"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the financial transaction tax gives us an instrument that allows us to distribute the burden of this crisis fairly in future. It is an instrument that makes it possible that even those who have hitherto refused to pay taxes, or who have paid very little in taxes, namely big business and the major banks, will have to pay taxes again. It is also an instrument that creates growth precisely where it is urgently needed: in the real economy, not in the financial sector. That is why I believe this House will do the right thing in the vote today.
However, I should like to mention one aspect that I am very unhappy with, and that is what is going on in the Council. As far as I am concerned, what is currently going on in the Council is scandalous, where Mr Cameron and his friends – who are ever fewer in number – are managing to get their policies, designed to suit multi-millionaires and big business, adopted throughout Europe. Let us give Mr Cameron and his friends in the Council the right answer here today with a European Parliament vote in favour of a financial transaction tax."@en1
