Visiting Sweden sounds like a giant fucking pain up the arse then. I'd leave with about £500 in extra debit card charges. I guess that's what they want. Why is this to my benefit?

In Sweden we have no cash
God this is hilarious I feel like I'm smoking a joint here.
Pakistani and Filipino shitosters who whore themselves for 10 cents a post know better what's going in Europe and what Europeans should do.
Build toilets in your fucking 6th level garbage bins countries then talk about Europe.

We (an American couple) will be visiting Sweden very soon, I look forward to it very much.
I had read somewhere that fraudsters from all over have descended on Sweden to hack credit cards and ATM cards. Some of the very best from the world over. Sweden would seem to be a big fat target for such hackers as (I read) that such a high percentage of transactions are done by cards.
What is happening re ATM and credit card fraud there? Is it a big problem (yet)?

It’s bad for business, bad for consumers, and only beneficial to banks. After all, they want consumers and companies to become even more reliant on their services altogether.
Do you believe that the EU will force the limit despite the fact the a majority do not want it?
Who do you think rules EU from the backseat? Yep, you guessed it, our beloved banking sector, they are behind every financial law proposed by EU.Do you believe that the EU will force the limit despite the fact the a majority do not want it?
The European Union has a history of enforcing bad laws and not listening to its citizens.
Prime example: current migrant crisis - EU officials decided to relocate refugees despite overwhelming records of the public opposition from the societies.

Is this what people refer to when they say we're losing rights and freedom?
I wouldn't mind if governments of the world decided to grant us more rights and freedoms, instead of limiting cash transactions and taking away the freedoms and privileges we already have.

Of course they'll force it. That's been a long term desire of theirs for years and there are already plenty of restrictions in place. What's even more alarming is that we already have Greece and Cyprus to look to as examples of what they get up to.

So, Germany is following the suit of France and Italy. Government is claiming that by limiting cash transactions they would curb the money laundering and illegal activities. But the country where 79% transactions are done by cash, such implementation would face tough time. And as expected people aren't willing and opposing the decision. Lets see what it has to bring.

wouldn't the European Commission rather encourage the people to rather spend more money to boost their economy.
This is about physical cash. The stuff you hold in your hand.In fact, 95% of respondent indicates they are opposed to a cash ceiling.
Yeah, but do they really care? This is one of those situations where we'll all hear about it but the majority of the public don't understand just how worthless that kind of digital cash is.If people can still spend cash on everyday items for small things, a lot of people won't notice the cap. Some of those who do notice it will still believe that bankers' digital money is an innovative new technology or that it's necessary to prevent money laundering.
Anyway, moving to a cashless society is just one small step towards the debt-based monetary system collapsing. It may take hundreds of years until it actually does, but it's got to happen sooner or later.

The European Commission is looking to introduce cash limits. Such measures could go into effect as soon as 2018. However, the vast majority of Europeans are not interested in this concept. In fact, 95% of respondent indicates they are opposed to a cash ceiling. This also means going cashless will not happen anytime soon.
When the European Commission allowed for feedback regarding the cash ceiling, most people knew the result already. Limiting the amount of cash value Europeans can spend at any given time is never a smart decision. Restricting payments at the EU level don’t benefit anyone. It’s bad for business, bad for consumers, and only beneficial to banks. After all, they want consumers and companies to become even more reliant on their services altogether.

That's not a very smart decision to introduce at all, Am intrigued to know what they plan to achieve by doing this, wouldn't the European Commission rather encourage the people to rather spend more money to boost their economy.

As i have alsways expected from the government limiting your transaction because of wanting to minimize the money fraud which is obviously the fact that that is not the solution. The more people spent a huge amount the higher their economy would be

Cash is freedom. A forced .gov electronic crypto is bad for several reasons.
-- Credit and ATM cards are already being hacked -- big time -- in Sweden, the country furthest along to becoming "cashless"
-- Bank accounts could be frozen or seized by banks and .gov at will
-- ALL transactions would be open to .gov review...
-- If the electricity goes out in a storm...?
IMO it all depends on what Germany decides. The Germans really like cash. It might be hard for even an aggressive EU to implement if Europe's strongest country will not go along.

I don't know what is the point of limiting cash transactions as it is a way to boost the economy not unless they want total control of it. Or are they doing it because they want to boost up credit transactions instead as a way to increase profits from taxes? Other than that it is really a bad move if all the participating european countries will have cash limits. Everything from overseas workers to its local citizens will be affected tremendously.

Money = freedom. And for a lot of people, money is simply cash.
What is the EU's excuse this time? Cutting down on terrorist funding?
The effect of this is that people would be forced to use their credit/debit cards more, meaning more data to track and sell. Let's just hope they are not shooting their foot (again) this time. This could put a hamper on consumption.
You've heard of the "refugee" crisis? You heard of how Poland and Hungary are fighting against the quota?
The EU would do as it pleases.

I am sure no citizen in any country will want any form of restriction in what they can spend so far they got their money legitimately. Even the countries that there is cash ceiling, I am sure they didn't ask for the citizens opinion even over here, the Central Bank has been given so much power that they just push out policies as they like without even anybody to challenge such decision the moment and even force the banks to ensure implementation of such draconian policies. I am happy this is happening in one of the developed countries in the world. When the European Commission allowed for feedback regarding the cash ceiling, most people knew the result already.
