well in principle i'm all for it as long as everybody does it and the money raised is shared proportionally back into the EU countries not just swallowed up in the Euro financial black hole and given to every country with a begging bowl and dodgy budget ,it could provide some much needed extra finance provided by banks who contributed to the mess we are in now .
