"I supported the report of my colleague, Anni Podimata, on the proposal for a Council directive on a common system of financial transaction tax and amending Directive 2008/7/EC. With this text, Parliament expressed its determination to support the application of the financial transaction tax (FTT) at EU level, the ultimate objective being an international FTT. On the same day as the informal European Council summit on growth is taking place in Brussels, we, as Members of this House, wanted to send out a strong message to the Council calling for the introduction of such a tax. The introduction of the FTT could generate up to EUR 57 billion (depending on the rate and the tax base) if the tax were implemented in all the Member States. I also welcome the proposal in the report which, in the event that no agreement amongst the EU27 is found, would allow Member States willing to implement the FTT to advance by formally requesting enhanced cooperation."@en1
