lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, there is much to like in this report. However, I cannot, on balance, support it. It is right that we in this house should have concern for the pension provisions of our Member State governments, and it is right that we should share best practice. However, I was simply unable to support the report as a whole because I simply disagree that the EU should have anything beyond an information-sharing role for pensions. The best authorities to deal with pensions, and indeed all social matters, are the national or local authorities, not us. This initiative report calls for too much centralised control, which I am simply unconvinced will either work or add value."@en1
