Delighted to inform you that on Friday (22 June) the campaign made an enormous stride forward with 9 countries agreeing to proceed with the FTT: France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Slovenia, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy. 

There has been a reasonable amount of coverage, but please read this to get a quick reprise: http://robinhoodtax.org.uk/latest/group-european-countries-agrees-push-ahead-robin-hood-tax. There is still a lot to do to make sure the countries actually implement, that other countries are brought on board and that funds don't just go from one lot of banks to bail out another lot of banks. I will keep you posted with more news as I get it but as many of you will appreciate who have followed this campaign over a number of years, we've come a long way!
