lpv:translated text	"We voted against the motion for a resolution on football players’ agents, as the work of an agent is an integral part of the commercialisation of football. We are talking about a single gang of exploiters which involves listed multinational football clubs, agents companies, the sports press and gaming. The work of agents cannot be seen apart from this commercial beanfeast. This exploitation does not only afford a profit to agents; it also profits listed football clubs and their sponsors. We are talking about a clear slave trade in players, where all those who are sold and are young are promoted, but when they get old or are injured or do not accept their terms, they are tossed on to the rubbish heap. As far as money laundering is concerned, the whole world knows that it happens and we had no need to wait for the study on agents. We must also know that numerous agents companies which cooperate with listed clubs own the football players, a phenomenon which is more frequent in African and Latin American countries, where there is a real slave trade. Our position on this issue is clear. We are against any business activity in sport and football, because that is what brings about these consequences in football."@en1
