"Madam President, we voted in block 1. The vote concerns an amendment tabled by the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party to increase the tobacco subsidy by EUR 5 million. Yet, I have noticed that proposals have also been moved here to reduce the budget. I fail to see the connection between the two, and furthermore, it escapes me completely that in block 1, this increase was proposed by the Liberals, and that under Amendments Nos 6, 4 and 9, a number of the Members of the same Liberal Group subsequently proposed scrapping the budget altogether. Either this is a way of pursuing Liberal politics, where the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing, or there is a lack of coordination. Surely we cannot vote in favour of an increase one moment and vote in favour of a reduction the next. If I am being honest, I feel we are to some extent deceiving the electorate."@en1
