By understanding what happened in the past, we can prevent similar things from happening in the future. That is what I'm trying to get you to acknowledge, but if you refuse to see that representatives of major companies are refusing to admit that their products are being sold illegally and are doing nothing to stop this trade...You may think that I'm only interested in sanctions, but that is not so. I'm concerned about preventing this from happening in the future. I have always believed that a huge company like Imperial Tobacco would never encourage illegal trade on such a scale.
