European Commission - Financial Transaction Tax through Enhanced Cooperation: Questions And Answers
Why has the Commission proposed a Financial Transaction Tax for implementation through enhanced cooperation?
The Commission initially proposed a Financial Transaction Tax to be implemented by all 27 Member States, in September 2011 (IP/11/1085). However, following intense discussions in Council, it was found that unanimity would not be reached on this proposal in the foreseeable future.
Nonetheless, a number of Member States expressed a strong willingness to go ahead with the FTT. Therefore, in autumn 2012, 11 Member States wrote to Commissioner Šemeta, officially requesting enhanced cooperation on the financial transaction tax to be authorised, on the basis of the Commission's 2011 proposal.
