lpv:spoken text	"Mr[nbsp ]President, we are voting on the revision of this third anti-money-laundering directive because, as other colleagues have said, the sophisticated means for money laundering and terrorist financing are constantly evolving, and we need to keep up. The rapporteurs have done a good job, and this report is a central element in Parliament’s efforts to tackle this type of cross-border criminal activity. As civil society organisations have already publicly stated, enhancing transparency on beneficial owners will make it easier and quicker for law enforcers to follow the criminal money trail. It will allow citizens to hold businesses accountable and will enable businesses to understand who is behind their partners and suppliers. The 2011 World Bank study found that 70[nbsp ]% of corruption cases involved phantom firms with unknown owners. Achieving transparency on payment sources, fund deposits and transfers, in order to counter terrorism and money laundering, is a legitimate interest of the European Parliament, but the proposals must be fully in line with data-protection requirements. Our group strongly supports the Commission’s list of effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions but, in our amended text, we ask it to report back to Parliament, within three years of implementation of the regulation, on the implications of the application of sanctions and monitoring. This is a good piece of work by the rapporteurs: it is what citizens expect in response to the sophisticated way that criminals operate, and I commend it. I also commend our group’s political movement on this dossier, and I welcome what the Commission is doing."@en1
