The Council was informed that 11 member states had either already submitted requests to the Commission for a proposal to introduce a financial transaction tax via enhanced cooperation (Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Austria, Portugal and Slovenia), or were planning to do so shortly (Estonia, Spain, Italy and Slovakia).
Nõukogu teavitati sellest, et 11 liikmesriiki on kas juba esitanud komisjonile taotluse tõhusamaks koostööks seoses finantstehingute maksu ettepanekuga (Belgia, Saksamaa, Kreeka, Prantsusmaa, Austria, Portugal ja Sloveenia) või kavatsevad seda teha (Eesti, Hispaania, Itaalia ja Slovakkia).
