					<description><![CDATA[What about the €4.2 million gift to Cafe&#039; Premier? 

The directors of the company are personally liable for:

1. Trading when the company was insolvent;
2. VAT collected but NOT passed on to the VAT authorities;
3. Tax and National insurance contributions deducted from the employees;
4. Employer&#039;s share + (3) above not passed on to the tax authorities.

The directors should have been sent to jail, NOT bailed out through taxpayers&#039;s funds.

Also note that the actual debt in total amounted to €4 million. The extra €200,000 was paid as commission to one of the directors for his &quot;successful&quot; negotiations of this bail out. 

Now one has to remember that all this cost the taxpayer €8.2 million. Why? Because the Ministry of Finance had to waive the €4 million due from the company and for out the €4.2 million itself! 

Now of ths is NOT corruption, than I do not know what to call it.]]></description>
