"This week, the European Parliament was consulted by EU ministers on the creation of a financial transaction tax (FTT). As a member of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, I have long advocated the development of this project, and I welcome the fact that the European Parliament has sent a strong message to the Council, with 71% of voting members supporting the creation of an FTT. According to projections from the European Commission, this FTT could generate up to EUR 57 billion. In these times of crisis, might this not be an excellent opportunity for the financial sector to contribute to steering Europe towards recovery, to restore its reputation and to regain citizens’ confidence? Finally, contrary to what the French socialists would have us believe, the idea of an FTT was put forward by Nicolas Sarkozy at both national level (and it will apply in France from 1 August) and EU level. We are seeing the positive results of the FTT today in the European Parliament."@en1
