ETUC urges ECOFIN to support Financial Transaction/Robin Hood Taxes

Brussels, 09/04/2010

John Monks added:
“It is only right and fair that speculations that account for a majority of many financial transactions should pay tax on their activities. The EU should urge the G20 to introduce such a tax urgently so that it can be used to contribute towards the heavy costs being incurred in combating the financial crisis.”
