lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, first off I just want to congratulate Dennis de Jong on this report. A legal framework for whistle-blowers is essential. At the moment, if you are going to become a whistle-blower in a financial sense it is a toss-up between whether you are crazy or whether you actually really want to change things, and it should be the latter. You should not have to be crazy to do it but at the moment, if you look at the evidence, that is the case. You look at people like Jonathan Sugarman who tried to blow the whistle on UniCredit in Ireland for breaches in liquidity. What happened to him? He never worked again. He has not worked to this day. So unless things change the message is very, very clear. If you blow the whistle and if you blow the whistle strong, it will most likely be rammed down your throat and the total and utter goal is to stop you ever talking again. So we need this to change because unless we do we will have anarchy and we will have even more scepticism and I do not think you want that."@en1
