"Mr President, Mr Barroso, you often tell us that you have no support from the Greens … I just want to say that the level of ambition that you have displayed today is encouraging.
Of course, there are differences of opinion as to the nature of the crisis we are experiencing. It is true to say, there has not been enough talk of the ecological crisis, because we are reaching and even exceeding the physical limits of the planet.
I would just like to encourage you on one thing. You demonstrate an ambitious federalism when it comes to the banking union. We would encourage you on this matter and are on your side. We would like to see the same enthusiasm and the same boldness when it comes to fiscal federalism. You know that in English, the term ‘fiscal’ often exclusively implies looking at expenditure. We want to see the same thing in terms of fiscal convergence or harmonisation.
You have taken the initiative on the issue of tax on financial transactions, which is very good. Multinationals from all sectors, including, of course, the financial sector, must start paying the taxes they owe. For this to happen, we need harmonisation of corporate tax in Europe.
We are waiting for you to do something here too. We will be with you."@en1
