lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, in the past, I have often been sharply critical of British Prime Minister Cameron. However, Prime Minister Cameron was absolutely correct to ask for trade preferences to be granted to Pakistan. Now I use the word ‘ask’ with some care. Asking is exactly what the British Prime Minister has had to do. Since joining the EU, the United Kingdom, the world’s fifth largest economy, does not have the autonomy to determine trade policy even with a Commonwealth country. Nevertheless, it is in the UK’s national interest that Pakistan should now get trade preferences. I rarely agree with David Martin but I do on this. Pakistan is not only a developing country with 170 million inhabitants and strategic borders with Afghanistan; it is also a country which has some thirty nuclear warheads. The security implications of a collapse of the Pakistan State would be devastating to the security of the entire developed world. Trade preferences for Pakistan at this time may perhaps help stop that happening."@en1
