There is a meeting point between democracies in industrial countries and in emerging democracies. I want to speak about the role of companies, the multinational. Until very recently the giant companies managed affairs in our country and they received and they sent commissions and the commissions were tax free. We are not in a position to control that. Our country is undergoing extensive privatization processes.
Foreign companies are in a position to control our rulers.
There are glaring examples in South America. In the U.S. there is a wonderful law and there are international companies that have their own codes. But my hope is that efforts in this direction should continue otherwise it will be at the expense of all efforts we make in our developing countries. Another point, Mr. Chairman, is in a form of a proposal. In similar conferences cooperation and political negotiations should be given prominence.
