"Mr President, the decisions by the European Council are, of course, a step in the right direction, but clearly a great deal still needs to be done before these general undertakings can be translated into specific, reliable and effective decisions and acts. I wish to raise two points: the first concerns the financial transaction tax. The European Parliament would obviously prefer a decision to be taken at EU27 level. However, as that appears to be impossible, we feel that the conditions and requirements should be put in place as quickly as possible for those who can and want to move forward, via enhanced cooperation, while respecting the basic characteristics of the tax, which should apply to as many financial institutions as possible and cover as broad a range of financial transactions as possible. The European Parliament supports the financial transaction tax, not stamp duty. My second point concerns the decision taken by the European Council, and not a moment too soon, to break the vicious cycle between the banking sector and the debt crisis. This is a good beginning that should apply to everyone, regardless of why the banking sector has been recapitalised in each country. May I ask you, Mr Barroso, to assure us today that this principle of equality and justice will apply and that every country which is in a programme and is demonstrably applying it can expect such equal treatment in this matter?"@en1
