Finansskat kan stadig gå direkte til EU

De 11 lande, der vil indlede et forstærket samarbejde:

Tyskland, Frankrig, Belgien, Østrig, Portugal, Grækenland, Slovenien, Estland, Spanien, Slovakiet og Italien.

Beregninger fra Kommissionen viser, at hvis 2/3 af provenuet fra transaktionsskatten anvendes som en indtægtskilde til EU's budget, så vil medlemslandenes bidrag til budgettet baseret på bruttonationalindkomsten (BNI) kunne reduceres med ca. 50 procent.

I dag finansierer medlemslandenes BNI-bidrag ca. 73 procent af EU's budget. For Danmarks vedkommende ville det i EU-budgettet for 2012 svare til en reduktion i BNI-bidraget på ca. 6,8 mia. kroner.

(a) [On 28 September 2011, the European Commission made a proposal for a Council Directive on a common system of financial transaction tax (FTT). Based on the request of (eleven) Member States, the Commission proposed on 23 October 2012 a Council Decision authorising enhanced cooperation in the area of FTT. As soon as a common system of FTT has come into effect, possibly under enhanced cooperation, it shall become the base for a new own resource for the EU budget. The new FTT-based own resource shall be levied in the amount of a share [of two thirds] of the amounts collected by Member States according to the minimum FTT rates set out in the relevant Council Directive. The GNI-based resource of the participating Member States shall be reduced correspondingly]

(b) [A new own resource based on a system of financial transaction tax will not be introduced.]
