"I voted for the adoption of the Podimata report on the introduction of a financial transaction tax (FTT). Since the current crisis was brought on by stock market and financial speculation, I therefore consider it logical and just that this tax is finally introduced. The latest Eurobarometer survey shows that 66% of Europeans are in favour of such a tax.
Furthermore, the FTT and the new resources to which it leads must contribute to financing growth in Europe. From this perspective, we must defend a tax base that is as broad as possible and fight against exemptions and loopholes which would favour speculators. In this regard, I regret the overcautiousness of the European right wing, which preferred to exclude pension funds, as if that financial instrument could not, like any other financial instrument, be at the service of speculation!"@en1
