"Last night the Finance Commission of the French Assembly voted to force French banks to publish their turnover and the number of people employed on a country by country basis. MPs couldn't get an agreement to add profits and tax.
The plenary vote will start on Feb 12 and I guess the banks will mobilize. But if it holds I guess it will be a world première for the banking sector.
That is very good news. This link (in French) provides more details.

I am aware that the banks themselves will be people who will supervise. Do you believe that this will work? I don’t.
