Description (in english)	Attac Rosenheim is part of the international ATTAC = "Association pour la taxation des transactions pour l'aide aux citoyens" (Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens). It is an activist organization for the establishment of a tax on foreign exchange transactions. Originally a single-issue movement demanding the introduction of the so-called Tobin tax on currency speculation, ATTAC now devotes itself to a wide range of issues related to globalisation, monitoring the decisions of the WTO, the OECD and the IMF. ATTAC attends the meetings of the G8 with the goal of influencing policymakers' decisions. ATTAC claims not to be anti-globalization, but only that it criticises the neoliberal ideology that it sees as dominating economic globalisation. It supports globalisation policies that they characterise as sustainable and socially just. One of ATTAC's slogans is "The World is not for sale", denouncing the "merchandisation" of society.
