"The Podimata report on a common system for taxing financial transactions has been a major success for the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, for whom this tax represents a key instrument for responding to the crisis. The approved resolution at last provides a concrete and fair response to the financial sector, which has so far not been affected by any regulation in spite of the fact that it is directly responsible for the crisis. The tax rates of 0.1% for shares and bonds and 0.01% for derivatives, of which the majority of European citizens are in favour, provide Europe with an effective instrument of control and a tool in tackling tax evasion. The tax will be applied on the basis of the residence and issuance principles to financial institutions and non-European securities. I am critical of the exemption of pension funds, because they truly are tigers of the financial markets, which, since they carry out speculative, high-risk transactions, should be subject to the same control."@en1
