lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I make no secret that I was opposed to the establishment of the External Action Service. My view is that foreign policy should remain the exclusive preserve of the Member States. However, as a pragmatist, I have to deal with the EU as it is, and not how I might like it to be. So I welcome the good work of our rapporteurs in their negotiations with Baroness Ashton. Their most significant success is securing agreement that this Parliament will scrutinise the budget of the Service. At a time of austerity, we must ensure that taxpayers’ money is not wasted on superfluous expenditure, such as a European diplomatic training college, which happens all too often in the EU. Baroness Ashton made a solemn promise that the Service would be budget-neutral. I have my doubts as to whether that will actually be achieved, but if we are to serve the taxpayers we represent, we need to hold her to that promise."@en1
