lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, stability and growth depend on a healthy economy. The EU’s economy is suffering daily, sometimes to the tune of millions of euro, due to the embargo imposed by Turkey on EU shipping. This embargo was intended in theory to be against Cyprus, but in practice it is against the whole of the EU. I shall explain why with the following example. A German-owned ship with a French flag carrying British goods for a Spanish company will be prevented from entering a Turkish port if it is discovered that a member of the board of the goods handling company previously had a business connection with a Cypriot company. This is illegal and absurd and there is no excuse for the Council and the Commission to tolerate such aggressive behaviour by a candidate country for one day longer. I would like briefly to raise another issue. Two days ago a daily newspaper with a large circulation and the mouthpiece of the Turkish Government, reported that the Council and the Commission had been working together on what sounds like a conspiracy to essentially isolate and destabilise the Cypriot Government in order to force it to accept an unpopular solution to the Cyprus issue. I know that this report is nonsense, but it has been misused for the purposes of Turkish propaganda and has caused my constituents concern. I urge you to state here today that it is utterly false and farcical."@en1
