Europe tired of waiting until the other major powers agree on new ways of effective control over the global financial system. The EU considers it necessary now to force banks to pay for the world economic crisis and is prepared to unilaterally impose a tax on banks skie transactions described in the approved on Wednesday at a session of the European Parliament resolution on financial regulation.

By results of the meeting instructed the deputies of the European Commission to develop a detailed plan for the collection of such tax for the June summit “big Twenties”. In their view, the tax should “limit the interest of financial institutions in excessively risky investments, thereby reducing the risks of the banking system. Income from financial charges should go to the replenishment of the EU budget and help developing countries combat global climate change. However, the scheme of the initiative is not yet clear. Some analysts believe that lending institutions, for example, could in case of crisis to deduct tax at a special insurance fund created by the same banks and managed without the participation of the state.

If a tax on transactions in international falters, Europe needs to do it unilaterally, confident in the European Parliament. This remark is justified: some world powers the idea of a tax on bank transactions are not supported. Earlier, U.S. President Barack Obama has proposed his own version of the tax crisis “, which will be subject to major U.S. and global banks. To levy such a tax is scheduled to return financial institutions or the size of their assets.

President Bayerisches Finanz Zentrum in Munich, Professor Wolfgang Gerke considers a tax on transactions in Europe is quite real. “AUT-dence, for example, is considering even the possibility of two new taxes – on bank stocks and tran-spetsnaloga on banks. Moreover, the need for the second of which is explained by the fact that since the state helps banks during the crisis, but now banks have to pay for this assistance. While the introduction of tax on the transaction relates and Germany “, – told RBC daily Wolfgang Gerke.

However, experts recognize that ultimately the financial burden of tax on the transaction still lie not so much on banks, as on the population. “Banks will transfer their losses to customers – with the help of credit interest or any new data collection and so on. Thus, we find that the taxation of transactions in the taxation will become bank customers “, – said Mr. Gerke.
