lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, this report seems to me to be barking up the wrong tree, attempting to solve a peripheral symptom of the real problem in developing nations, that of corruption. Nigeria is a prime example of how governmental corruption has nurtured an environment of low investor confidence, which has allowed corporations to abuse the free market by investing in the countries with the most disjointed tax evasion laws and ethos. This report states that transparency is the key in holding tax evaders accountable. But is this realistic? These countries are not blessed with the scale of technological advancements we enjoy. So one could argue that this claim is not just far-reaching but also, frankly, counterproductive. Before the issue of tax avoidance can be addressed properly, corruption must be dealt with in developing nations. If you are going to legislate hard on something, it might as well be the root of the evil, rather than the by-product of that evil."@en1
