lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the Marinho report deplores the fact that borders have been opened up for criminals but remain closed to the institutions whose duty it is to bring them to justice. What can one expect? You wanted a Europe solely geared to throwing open the doors to the free movement of goods and capital. Dirty money follows the same channels as any other type of money, even if many of the transactions made by companies of some standing are not as dirty as the capital transactions of the Cali cartel. What I am talking about are the proceeds of corruption and the profits reaped from exploiting children in less developed countries. You are incapable of taking genuine measures to prevent money laundering because to do so would entail laying the blame at the door of banking and financial groups, since they are the ones who are able to launder this money by cloaking themselves in banking secrecy. All the big banks themselves set up subsidiaries in tax havens, and these tax havens only exist because there are banks who use them. They do this with encouragement from the Member States themselves, such as France and the Netherlands in the case of Saint-Martin, and Great Britain in the case of the Channel Islands and elsewhere. We are the only ones here who want to see measures that truly prevent money laundering, which is to say the immediate abolition of banking secrecy, the trade secret, the business secret, access to the accounting ledgers of all banking and manufacturing companies and the right of all the employees of these companies, of all consumers, to bring to the public’s attention any transfer of funds that is against the interests of society at large."@en1
