lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, in 2005 one of my constituents, Mr Michael Davidson, had a quantity of cigarettes and alcohol and his motor car seized by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs when re-entering the UK at Dover. Their justification is that, purely in their opinion, he intended to use the goods for commercial purposes, something he strenuously denies. Such seizures are illegal under Council Directive 92/12/EEC. In 2006, Commissioner Kovács postponed proceeding against Her Majesty’s Government in the European Court of Justice on the understanding that it would comply with the law. However, HM Revenue and Customs are still illegally seizing goods and refusing to restore the monetary value of goods previously seized. The British Government has subjugated British citizens to EU law, but choose to ignore it when it applies to them. I intend to write to Mr Kovács asking him to re-open the proceedings against the British Government in the European Court of Justice."@en1
