lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Mr Alexander knows that I know that he is not very good at answering questions. However, I shall have another go. What is the UK Government planning to do about the institutionalised looting of public funds that has gone on in this place over decades? EUR 600 billion – according to the Court of Auditors itself – has been unaccounted for since the UK joined, and that is five times the contribution that we have made over that same period. On Mr Blair’s desk in Downing Street, there is a letter recommending that the UK Government set a time limit to complete the basic reform of the EU’s accounting procedures so that they comply fully with international financial reporting standards. Simultaneously, the UK should declare that failure to do so within that time limit should signal the UK invoking the Vienna Convention on Treaties. Meanwhile, the UK’s GBP 1.25 million an hour should be diverted into an escrow account."@en1
