"The goals of the Rio+20 Summit are: (i) to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development; (ii) to assess the progress to date and the remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development; and (iii) to address new and emerging challenges. These are noble aims, and I wish the summit all success in its endeavours. However, I find here once again a resolution on sustainable development which pronounces on the financial markets and calls for the introduction of new taxes, which, in this context, I cannot bring myself to approve. The financial transaction tax will be discussed in its proper place – it was proposed by the Commission yesterday – and the same goes for the regulation of financial markets."@en1
