"I welcome the fact that the proposal for a financial transaction tax, which I have supported since the creation of the Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens (ATTAC) in 1998, is finally on the agenda of the European institutions. The EU is only 15 years behind! I note that the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs approved the amendment tabled by the Members of the Left Front aimed at extending the tax proposed by the Commission to foreign exchange transactions. That is good news. However, I regret the fact that the provisions exempting derivatives and the prohibition for Member States to introduce a new financial transaction tax are retained in the text. I and my colleagues in the Left Front have once again tabled amendments to remove them. Nonetheless, I voted for this step forward."@en1
