lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I was in the United States during the mid-term elections and saw something of the political earthquake that took place there. There are lessons for Europeans in this, both in our home countries and in the European Union. Citizens both in the United States and here want less government intrusion in their lives, control of the deficit and cuts in public expenditure, and for us that should mean a smaller EU budget. Turning to defence matters, the recent UK strategic defence and security review reminds us that Britain’s pre-eminent defence and security relationship is with the United States. That should apply to all other European countries. I very much hope that NATO’s new strategic concept will demonstrate a revitalised commitment to the alliance which binds the United States to Europe’s security. We must not allow the distraction of EU defence ambitions to dilute or undermine this. We cannot afford duplication and distraction, particularly at a time when defence budgets are being slashed. The forthcoming NATO summit on 19 November presents a good opportunity for the 21 NATO allies that are also EU Member States to demonstrate their commitment to the new realities."@en1
