A bank employee stands in front of a vault in a bank in the western Austrian city of Hall in Tirol April 8, 2013. Austrian Finance Minister Maria Fekter will fight "like a lion" to defend the country's banking secrecy, she told a newspaper on Monday, promising to veto any steps that endanger the centuries-old tradition. Austria taxes interest income at source and sends the proceeds back to the depositor's home country without revealing any names, a system it defends as being more efficient than exchanging personal information with foreign governments.
