Historic of this appeal
 

Following the vote at the Canadian Parliament on a report in favour of the installation of a Tobin type tax, the launch by 100 Brazilian Parliamentarians of a 'Parliamentarian Front for the Tobin Tax', the different initiatives of National Parliaments in Europe as well as in the European Parliament, it is now the turn of the United States Congress to discuss and vote on a resolution. The time has come to move this issue to a higher level, to a global platform.
We wish to show there is large support throughout the world for a Tobin type tax that would slow down speculation, impose rules on the financial markets and finance the fight against poverty and for the developing countries.
This is why we have decided to call for a world-wide appeal of Parliamentarians in favour of the installation of the Tobin Tax.
Our objective is to get over a thousand Parliamentarians from the five continents to sign this appeal and to have this question tabled in National Parliaments as well as at the G7 and IMF level.
The text of the appeal, in several languages, the list of signatures and links to Tobin Tax related sites are now availableThe First Interparliamentary Meeting has been held at the European Parliament in Brussels on June 28, 2000.
We thank you for your support to continue the mobilization
