lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this tax has caused quite a stir, and we have seen how some of our colleagues have engaged in mudslinging before immediately leaving the debate. I would like to simply reiterate the fact that Parliament has already made its position regarding this tax very clear through several resolutions and decisions. I think that the important thing today is effective implementation, because we are sustaining the report with a whole series of plans, a whole series of words and, behind it, nothing much is happening. In my opinion, it is important for us to be realistic. Since this is a tax matter, Parliament is only being consulted on this report and, in view of this, I feel we must be clear and concise when stating our views. The Commission’s proposal is interesting and good, and I believe we should support it. We must not try to weaken it; there are already strong disagreements within the Council and the chances of seeing the success of this report as we wish, at EU level, are relatively slim. That is why some people suggest that we work in closer cooperation. That is one of the ideas. Parliament is only consulted on this subject, but we should put all the necessary efforts in place. The position of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) is clear. After discussions and equivocations, the PPE Group is, today, in favour of the financial transaction tax. We would like the tax to be as comprehensive as possible, but, as the PPE Group is realistic, we know that this is not possible in the current climate. We would like the tax to be adopted at European level and that it not be implemented at a lower level, as this would certainly be detrimental to the European financial economy. We must not look the other way: if there were no European internal market – the European market forms a single entity and, personally, I do not believe in running away from things – if it falls to a lower geographical level, there is a real risk."@en1
