lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, citizenship and statehood go together; hence the desire of the promoters of the European project to produce European citizenship. True citizenship, however, does not need money thrown at it to make it real or desirable. Loyalty to it is born of the heart, not of the pocket. Surely we could find better uses for the EUR 230 million or even EUR 290 million, as some want, than promoting this contrived notion of European citizenship. At the end of all this wasted expenditure, the French will still want to be French and the British will still want to be British, and no one but the political Euro-elite will prize citizenship of Europe above that of their own country. Why then do we have to try so hard to defy the natural order and create a synthetic substitute, when in our Member States we can all enjoy the real thing? GM citizenship may be for some; it is not for me."@en1
