lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this afternoon, we are debating the European External Action Service. The delegation of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) is opposed to the development of this European diplomatic service on every conceivable level. This service is a product of the terrible Treaty of Lisbon, which was resoundingly rejected by the Dutch voters and quite rightly, as it turns out. Plans are now being made for European super diplomacy, in a manner that is completely undemocratic and over which we have no control. Nobody knows how it will work in practice, and yet the EU is grabbing more and more powers for itself. Mr President, foreign policy is no business of the EU. That is the job of the Member States, who should retain complete control of it. Besides, Baroness Ashton’s plans will result in considerable cost to the taxpayer. The budget is already heavily overrun as it is, and yet Baroness Ashton wants a Situation Centre with an aircraft for herself, as well as her own staff and an expenses budget of several million a year. When is this madness going to stop? All this unelected Euro-elite wants is to be able to act exactly as it pleases. The citizens can only stand by and watch without being allowed to say anything, and yet they are the ones who have to foot the sky high bill. This is making a mockery of democracy! To conclude, how are our citizens to know which diplomatic door to knock on? We are going to have a Dutch Embassy and a Dutch Consulate and, on top of that, a European diplomatic representation abroad. I sincerely hope that, in an emergency, a travelling Dutch national manages to find the door of the Dutch Embassy, because no doubt they are the ones who will be able to offer the only genuine service that is of any real use or which has any actual meaning. Mr President, just leave football and diplomacy to the Dutch, will you?"@en1
