"I voted for the proposal for a Council directive on a common system of financial transaction tax and amending Directive 2008/7/EC. This tax may generate important new revenues – according to recent estimates, up to EUR 57 billion if implemented at EU level. It can shift the burden to activities with negative externalities, such as high-frequency trade and extremely speculative financial transactions, thereby ensuring a fairer distribution of the tax load. Likewise, it can become a disincentive for extremely leveraged and harmful speculative transactions, thereby contributing, along with appropriate regulation and a supervision regime, to stabilising markets and redirecting this sector towards productive long-term investments."@en1
