AD urges MP s to support Tobin Tax proposal

Aletrnattiva Demokratika-The Green Party urges Maltese MP's to join many
of their European and world counterparts in asking their respective
legislative bodies and governments to support the Tobin tax proposal and
ask the government to support its implementation at an international
level.


"The Tobin tax, named after the American economics Nobel prize winner.
James Tobin proposed, in 1978 to tax, at a low rate, all the
transactions on the currency markets in order to discourage speculation
and, at the same time, provide the internationa community with
resources. With a rate of 0.05% the Tobin tax is estimated to bring in
more than 100 billion dollars per year, which could be utilized for
currency stabilization, economic development, emergency relief, or other
national and international crises like the present one in Argentina",
said AD-the Green Party's international secretary Ralph Cassar.

The campaign for the introduction of the Tobin Tax is supported by
numerous civil society and non-governmental organizations, linked with
trade unions, social, ecumenical, and environmental causes.  The
European Greens are at the forefront of this campaign.

"AD believes in a globalisation based on democracy, sustainable
development and social justice.  The Tobin Tax is an important step in
this direction", said Ralph Cassar.
