Въпреки бавното темпо и многото различия, и въпреки че останаха с една държава по-малко, групата, подкрепяща данъка върху финансовите транзакции (ДФТ) отбеляза напредък по време на заседанието на министрите на финансите на ЕС на 8 декември. Вече са ясни основните черти, които бъдещото законодателство по засилената процедура на сътрудничество ще има, но все още липсват подробности.

Regardless of the slow pace and multiple differences and despite losing a member, the group backing the Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) made progress during the ministers of finances’ meeting on December 8th. The main features of the future legislation under an enhanced cooperation procedure are now clear, but details are still missing. Thus, the end of this long process of negotiations is still unclear and resistance is rising. And even though there were no major dramas in the public discussion, some sharp words were exchanged. The subject appeared on the ministers’ agenda for the first time in over a year. The last debate, again public, was in November of last year when German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble made a dramatic speech in which he linked the introduction of this tax with the survival of European democracy.
