Commission proposes green light for enhanced cooperation on financial transactions tax
October 23, 2012--The 10 Member States that wish to apply an EU financial transaction tax (FTT) through enhanced cooperation should be allowed to do so, because all the legal conditions for such a move are met.
This is the conclusion of the proposal for a Council Decision adopted by the Commission today. Moreover, enhanced cooperation on the FTT would not only bring "immediate, tangible advantages" for those countries that participate, but would also contribute to a better functioning Single Market for the Union as a whole, the proposal states.

Enhanced Cooperation on Financial Transaction Tax-Questions and Answers
October 23, 2012--In September 2011, the European Commission tabled a proposal for a Directive on a financial transaction tax (see IP/11/1085). The essence of this proposal was that a low-rate, wide-base tax would be applied on all financial transactions with any economic link to the EU. The estimated revenue yield was €57 billion.
Following intense discussions for 9 months on this proposal, Member States concluded that they would not be able to agree upon it unanimously within a reasonable period. Nonetheless, a significant number of Member States were still eager to have a common FTT. Therefore, 10 Member States1 formally requested to proceed through enhanced cooperation. They wrote to the Commission, asking for a Decision to be submitted to ECOFIN to enable them to move ahead as a smaller group. Today's Commission proposal for a Decision authorising enhanced cooperation for a financial transaction tax responds to this request.
What is enhanced cooperation?
Enhanced cooperation is when a group of at least 9 Member States decide that they will move ahead with an initiative proposed by the Commission when it proves impossible to reach unanimous agreement on it. It is only relevant to policy areas which require unanimity, and it aims to overcome the situation whereby certain Member States are prevented from advancing with a common approach due to the reluctance and non-agreement of others.
Clear provisions and conditions for enhanced cooperation are set out in Article 20 of the TEU and Articles 326 to 334 (TFEU).
