"I welcome the result of the vote on the report on a common financial transaction tax. A result of 487 votes in favour and 152 against says a lot. The Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament has, for several years, lobbied for the adoption of a tax imposed on speculators and big stock market players who ‘placed their bets’ on the current economic, financial and confidence crisis. I voted in favour, in the belief that in this way, we will obtain new sources of funding for European projects to support growth, create new jobs and rekindle trust in the European project. Parliament and the Commission have passed the test, and the Council should give serious thought to the position it has taken to date. The Danish Presidency breathed fresh life into the Council. It should be noted that the myths surrounding this tax have been allayed, and the citizens and the economy can only benefit, at no extra cost."@en1
