"Remember that this small figure will add up to a huge sum for us to use against the effects of this crisis."
Poul N. Rasmussen, President of the Party of European Socialists (PES), said: "to all of you who have joined the campaign for a Financial Transaction Tax, I award you 99.95% out of 100%. We will keep the other 0.05% for the tax! Remember that this small figure will add up to a huge sum for us to use against the effects of this crisis. It’s time for everyone, especially speculators, to pay their share, so that we can finally say, this time we learned the lessons of the crash".
