lpv:spoken text	"My point really was that what we decide in this Chamber – as you said in response to the last question, when you referred to EU laws that have to be respected – applies in places like Martinique, or Guadeloupe, or French Guiana on the coast of South America, thousands of kilometres away, far removed from this place, but it does not apply in places like the Channel Islands, which are between France and Britain, or the Isle of Man, Liechtenstein, Andorra – I could go on. There are all these peculiar little tax havens and exemptions that we seem to allow and where EU law does not apply. Does the Council not consider this position to be such an anomaly that we ought to look at it again and consider a more modern way forward, rather than trying to legislate thousands of kilometres away, and not on our own doorstep?"@en1
