"Mr President, there is a very clear division in this Chamber on the issue of whether a financial transaction tax should be introduced in Europe. In my opinion, this tax should definitely be introduced. We need to stimulate the European financial sector so that it can bear at least part of the cost of getting through the current crisis, since it actively contributed to it. The hardships of overcoming the crisis rest largely on taxpayers and consumers today, which is grossly unfair. There is a further weighty reason in favour of taxing transactions between financial institutions. This is the need for the European Union to generate significantly more funds, but also – which, in my view, is very important – its own funds, which could be allocated to a greater extent to investments and job creation. In other words, I support this proposal."@en1
