"This report, which proposes to combat corruption, only illustrates your inability to do so. How could it be otherwise? You have made industrial, banking and trade secrets into supreme laws precisely in order to draw a modest veil over the thousand-and-one misappropriations, bribes, swindles and other fiddles that enable you to reap the maximum profit and even conceal the waste that your economic system represents for society. Trying to reconcile trade secrets with combating corruption is like trying to square the circle. How, then, can we combat corruption in an economy that turns everything into a commodity and where anything can be bought and sold, be it brains, brawn or conscience? In abstaining from voting on this report, we would like to highlight its hopelessness."@en1
