The European Council Legal Service has issued an opinion that seriously questions the legal validity of the European Commission's proposals for a financial transaction tax.

“There are no principles; there are only events.
There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
The superior man espouses events and circumstances in order to guide them.
If there were principles and fixed laws, nations would not change them as we change our shirts and a man can not be expected to be wiser than an entire nation”
- Honoré de Balzac (1799 – 1850)
