“So even with the amendments there are still very considerable concerns so that in a sense I can understand why one would use the word cosmetic.  From my perspective they are designed to create an impression but not to produce any results on the ground.  It’s to allow, it’s to give the impression that there is greater accountability and control but yet allow exactly what is happening now to continue unchecked, save for the addition of some quarterly reports to the house.”
