Germany seeks alternatives to financial transaction tax

March 23, 2012--German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Friday he would seek alternatives to a cross-border tax on the finance industry that has run into fierce resistance in Europe.

Speaking to public broadcaster SWR in an interview to be transmitted on Saturday, Schaeuble appeared to back down on a French-led initiative for a financial transactions tax (FTT), acknowledging it would be nigh on impossible to push through at a European level.

"Instead, I will now back equal alternatives, such as extended stock market tax and one which has the broadest possible backing," Schaeuble said.

FSA-Retail Product Development and Governance-Structured Product Review

March 23, 2012--Executive Summary
1.1 Structured products1 are rising in popularity and we are concerned that the growing number of structured product sales, as well as increasing product complexity, is placing a strain on firms' systems and controls.

A lack of robustness in firms’ product development and marketing processes can increase the risk of poorly designed products and lead to mis-selling, or mis-buying by consumers.

1.2 To address this risk, we assessed seven major providers of structured products between November 2010 and May 2011. The review specifically looked at how the firms were designing structured products, identifying their target markets, and how they handled post-sales responsibilities.

The financial transaction tax will reduce Member States' GNI contributions to the EU budget by 50%

March 23, 2012--If adopted as a new own resource of the EU budget the financial transaction tax (FTT) will significantly reduce the contributions of member states to the EU budget.

According to estimates presented yesterday by the European Commission, Member States' contributions would be slashed by €54bn in 2020.

The Commission proposes that two thirds of the revenues of the FTT go to the EU budget, reducing by the same amounts Member States' contributions based on their GNI, with the remaining one third being retained by Member States. Therefore, every euro levied with the FTT will ultimately benefit the Member States, whether through direct revenue collection or through a reduction of contributions to the EU budget.

The financial sector does not pay VAT and has received massive support by taxpayer's money, said Financial Programming and Budget Commissioner Janusz Lewandowski. Taxing the transactions of all financial institutions at rates as low as 0.01% is only fair. Furthermore, the estimated revenue which the tax would generate by 2020 can only be welcome by cash strapped governments across the EU.

NYSE will not appeal EU merger veto

March 22, 2012--The transatlantic exchange operator NYSE Euronext announced Thursday that it will not challenge a European Union veto blocking its merger with German rival Deutsche Boerse.

"While we continue to believe that the European Commission decision was based on an incorrect determination of the relevant market definition, we do not believe that the interests of our shareholders and our company would be served by undertaking a protracted appeal," it said in a statement.

Deutsche Boerse said Monday it would challenge the commission's ruling last month against the proposed merger, which would have created the world's largest exchange operator.

EU bids to open market access in emerging nations

March 21, 2012--The European Union unveiled proposals Wednesday aimed at forcing emerging powers such as China to offer European firms access to lucrative government contracts.

After repeatedly complaining about Chinese restrictions, the European Commission proposed measures to allow the 27-nation bloc to bar foreign firms from winning government contracts if their countries block European companies.

"We are simply asking them to open their markets for our products just as we have been doing for theirs," EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht told a news conference. "It's about fundamental fairness."
