lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, when we listen to the discussion here in Parliament, there are many colleagues here who lament the fact that the EU was not listened to in the recent discussions in Copenhagen. Maybe we should consider why that was. Let us look at our own behaviour here in this European Parliament. For a start, we have two European Parliament buildings. We come to Strasbourg and we keep this building heated and lit when we are not here – gross hypocrisy. Let us look at the expenses regime – an expenses regime that encourages MEPs to take taxis and chauffeured cars – but if you try to take public transport, you are not allowed to claim that back: hypocrisy. If you look at Parliament buildings at night, you see that they keep their lights on and are well lit. Look at the common agricultural policy, which many MEPs in this place support, that not only damages developing countries’ economies but damages the environment. So, before we preach to the rest of the world, it is time we got our own house in order."@en1
