"I voted in favour of the report. It is important to introduce a tax on financial transactions. The deregulated financial markets are one of the main causes of the global economic crisis. I believe that the report could have gone further, both with regard to the scope of the tax and the rate. I would also have liked to have seen it more clearly stated that the revenue must be used for aid, environmental measures and social projects in developing countries.
Furthermore, I believe it would have been good to introduce supplementary tax rates for high-frequency trading, by using automatic tax rates linked to the speed of the financial transactions. However, since the introduction of this tax nevertheless represents a step in the right direction, I have voted in favour of it.
Finally, I would like to emphasise that, in contrast to what is stated in the report, I do not believe that the tax revenue should go into the EU budget. It should be distributed among the Member States."@en1
