lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the members of the liberal professions – tax accountants, lawyers and notaries – are aware of the risk which money laundering poses to the social, financial and economic stability of a country and condemn any professional colleague who wittingly takes part in his client’s criminal activities. And yet, they are all opposed to the Council’s proposal and welcome Parliament’s proposal. Our task, and here I mean tax accountants, and this includes me, is not to spy on our clients and, where necessary, to report them; on the contrary, our task is to advise our clients on the basis of the law and provide up-front explanations which will stop them from breaking the law. However, we shall be stripped of this explanatory function if the Council proposal is accepted and clients have to worry that, in future, we shall report information given in confidence. The citizens’ right to confidential advice is one of the fundamental principles of the rule of law and must remain sacrosanct."@en1
