lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this issue shows up the most basic weakness in the whole EU structure. All countries agree to be bound by the same body of EU law, which they then undertake to enforce upon themselves. It must have been obvious from the start that some countries would apply EU law more vigorously than others. So what we are now seeing is the beginning of attempts to harmonise criminal justice, notwithstanding Mr Gargani’s request for checks and limits. The ECJ will have a wonderful time deciding whether national sentencing meets its criteria of being proportional and dissuasive. Mr Gargani acknowledges that it will be hard to achieve uniform enforcement. Indeed, do we really expect courts to behave in the same way in all 25 EU countries, including our new eastern European Member States and those who are yet to join? I fear that politicians will agree to progressively harmonise enforcement, but the peoples of our different countries will not."@en1
