European Parliament
Andreas Schwab  (PPE ),
in writing.
(DE)
Ms Podimata’s report offers an opportunity – among other things – for us to finally succeed in stemming the tide of so-called high-frequency trading on stock markets. It now depends on the Council of Ministers taking a constructive approach to Parliament’s report and pushing ahead with the introduction of the financial transaction tax.
However, the national supervisory authorities for the stock markets must also ensure that they are already doing everything they can to reduce high-frequency trading.
