Upon departing the informal meeting of Ministers prior to the ECOFIN meeting in October, Pierre Moscovici, European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs announced that the 10 European countries that had been negotiating the implementation of the tax for years had seemed to reach an agreement on it after resolving some areas of hesitation by countries like Belgium, Slovakia and Slovenia, which had been halting progress in the negotiations.
The Spanish platforms in favour of the Financial Transactions Tax (Robin Hood Tax Campaign and FTT Now! Tax Havens No!) believe the conclusions of the most recent meeting of European Union Ministers of Economics and Taxation last Monday in Brussels are positive yet we’re celebrating with caution considering the continuous delays and obstacles that have been present in the negotiations since 2011. This was our position. |
