"Mr President, I voted for the Lehne report on combating money laundering. The French term used for money laundering is ‘
’
which literally means ‘bleaching or washing capital’, that is, making something white which was not white before, cleaning something which is dirty, making an ugly thing beautiful. Well then, I thought: why can we too not manage to be as clever as criminals, who do succeed in making ugly things beautiful? Why can we not manage to make ugly things beautiful too? I refer, Mr President, not to myself, who some people might consider ugly, but to the pension laws throughout Europe. Will we manage to make those ugly laws – and there are a great many of them – beautiful?"@en1
