Financial transaction tax: ETUC backs the vote of the European Parliament
2012/05/02
The ETUC welcomed the vote in the European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee calling for the introduction of a financial transaction tax (FTT) at EU level.
For the ETUC, the introduction of an FTT would raise much needed revenue and contribute to regulating the financial markets. “The FTT would be a start in ensuring that the financial sector also pays for the costs of the crisis” said Veronica Nilsson, ETUC Confederal Secretary.
