Its permanent members include the CBI Governor, the Finance and Economy Minister, two Ministers chosen by the Cabinet, The Head of the Chamber of Commerce, the General Prosecutor and two lawmakers (MPs).

Famous quotes containing the words money, credit and/or council:
“Knighterrantry is a most chuckleheaded trade, and it is tedious hard work, too, but I begin to see that there is money in it, after all, if you have luck. Not that I would ever engage in it, as a business, for I wouldnt. No sound and legitimate business can be established on a basis of speculation. A successful whirl in the knighterrantry linenow what is it when you blow away the nonsense and come down to the cold facts? Its just a corner in pork, thats all.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“Japanese mothers credit effort as the key determinant of a childs achievement in school, while American mothers name ability as the more important factor.”
—Perry Garfinkel (20th century)
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of Englands Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstaind with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Killd with report that old man eloquent;”
—John Milton (16081674)
