lpv:translated text	"Madam President, one of the great orators of Athens, Demosthenes, said, 'money is the root of everything'. I am sorry if perhaps you have never heard this and it is not easy to translate, but it means that, without money, nothing is possible. We cannot do a thing. With the 1% of GDP destined for the budget, policy is impossible. Europe is getting poor. We have a poorer household than at any other time. We import lemons from Chile, garlic from Tunisia, hazelnuts from Turkey and clothes from China. There is no development. We cannot get Europe out of poverty. It is ruining us. Europe is getting poor. We need to change policy but, instead of changing policy, we go along with Mr Blair, who says that we cannot give money to 4% of the population, to the farmers, even though the 4% feed the other 96%. Are we only going to pay money for computers? This is the wrong policy. We are budgeting for nations, not for computers; we are not budgeting for numbers. Think about the people. They are the ones who vote for us, they have the last word."@en1
