"If we could agree on a tax on financial transactions in the world would be a good thing, but it will not happen," Merkel said his 26 EU colleagues at a meeting of Ecofin ministers of finance.
"What I find difficult to accept is that we spend an enormous amount of time talking in the middle of a crisis in the European economy, the idea of ??a transaction tax Financial when it is already clear, both the euro and the euro area, not that there's nothing like unanimity. We must ask ourselves if this is the best use of our time " said Osborne.
Citing an analysis of the European Commission of the potential impact of an FTA, Osborne said that the EU could end up 1.76% of production and cost 500,000 jobs precisely the wrong time. He added that consumers pay the price."The taxpayers through their government because they have to raise money through auctions of sovereign debt. This is not a tax that is paid by bank or banks. I'm for the tax paid by bankers and banks, and if I submitted a tax credit in the UK paid by banks and their shareholders."We must be realistic and honest with our audience on who pays the tax. He is a banker alone in this world who will pay this tax. No banks will pay the tax. People who pay this tax are retirees with pensions.
"A financial transaction tax is paid by the final beneficiaries of financial transactions and retirees. So if you want go to introduce a tax on large for retirees is the end result. But at least be honest about who pays the tax, "said Osborne.
But, as expected, Germany and France insisted that it was time to impose a tax of 0.1% in stocks and bonds and 0.01% in derivatives .
Wolfgang Schäuble, German Minister of Finance, said disparagingly Osborne suggested that a comprehensive agreement is necessary in the first place. "It's just an excuse to do nothing"He added: "We will wait 20 years before doing anything if we wait for the last island on this planet."
