What does that spell? No comparison intended, but the observation that a
country is moved by connections and nepotism is hard to conceal. Think, for
example, telecom giants or oil giants. Money (industry) makes the world
(politics) go 'round...
The less supervision, the more corruption. But the EU/EC is not tolerant of
such blindness, much as the Americans request that the Russians deal with
piracy before they can enter the (not sure here...) WTO.
Best wishes,
