lpv:translated text	"Society cannot survive without businesses which produce goods and provide services. However, that should not lead us to overlook the fact that businesses can also form a threat to society. They want as low taxes as possible, as little worker participation as possible and as few rules as possible to protect against environmental pollution and animal torture. Large businesses, in particular, are out to make the highest possible profits for the owners and also often to secure the highest possible share options for management. In many cases, the pursuit of profits clashes with the pursuit of the healthiest possible living environment, the prevention of work-related illnesses, a safe working environment, democratic decision-making and the desirability of sufficient financial means to pay for public services. That is why it is necessary to arrange for as much openness as possible, so that society as a whole can co-determine the actions of businesses. Moreover, businesses which infringe rules should not under any circumstance receive contributions from European funds."@en1
