EU Finance Ministers Approve Financial Transactions Tax

EU finance ministers have given the green light for 11 eurozone members, including France and Germany, to ready a new tax on financial transactions.

The approval under "enhanced co-operation" rules allows the smaller group to pioneer the tax.

Governments previously failed to agree to impose the tax across the entire 27-member EU or 17-member eurozone.
