Taking place on the eve of political deliberations on financial regulation in ECOFIN, this conference on the financial transaction tax brings together a wide range of progressive politicians and experts, from NGOs, trade unions, international institutions, European and national parliaments.
Event information Event date: Mon, 15/03/2010 (All day)Event city:
After the devastation of the economic crisis, and the anger that this has provoked, there is
now genuine political momentum for the establishment of a global financial transaction tax.
For this reason, the first seminar of the Europeans for Financial Reform initiative will look in
detail at how we can make a financial transaction tax a reality. The seminar will take place on
15th March 2010 in the Solvay library in Brussels, and will be co-organised by the Global
Progressive Forum and the Foundation for Europeans Progressive Studies.
Although there is an unprecedented groundswell of support for the FTT – among citizens,
civil society and progressive politicians - this has not been mirrored by concrete action at
G20 level. This seminar aims to embolden you, our allies and opinion-shapers, to further
generate political momentum towards the realization of this essential instrument for the
global financial system
