The possibility of actually introducing a financial transaction tax (FTT) as part of the proposals for new own resources for the EU was questioned by Anni Podimata (S&D, EL), although she admitted the need for such an EU-wide tax.
The need to ensure complete reliability of statistics was stressed by several MEPs. In reply, Mr Šemeta said that Eurostat is already well-equipped to avoid any political interference when delivering data, and that he was committed to ensuring that Eurostat data are also perceived as reliable, especially by markets.
