Full question wording

Some people have suggested a Europe-wide tax of 0.05% on financial trades (such as buying and selling shares, derivatives and foreign currencies), claiming it would stabilise economies and raise funds from financial speculation. Other people think this would be unworkable, or fear it would lead to big banks and financial institutions re-locating to other countries without a transaction tax.
