lpv:spoken text	". British Conservative MEPs strongly support the objective of improving the natural environment in which we live. In addition to the environmental aspects of the report that we support, we also support the avoidance of British citizens being taxed double when they move abroad and the rights of consumers to benefit from an enhanced single market. Our decision to abstain on the final vote does not imply that we are opposed to the requirement for urgent measures to improve the environment. Many of the measures in the report can be supported, but we are opposed to passing new and additional powers to the European Commission and other European institutions when the same objectives can be achieved at national level. Importantly, we cannot support the call in this report to give the European Commission tax powers at the expense of national governments and, for this reason, as well as our general opposition to handing more powers to the Commission, we abstained on the final vote."@en1
