lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, in Britain, the first day of April is called April Fool’s Day and people take great delight in fooling one another. So when some report that Iceland is on course to join the EU next year, I think: ‘April Fool!’ In reality, a survey has shown that 64% of Icelanders want to remain independent, only 24% want to carry on applying for EU membership and, indeed, 60% of Icelandic businesses are against it. It is also said that Iceland wants the security of the euro. April Fool! Even Portugal’s own banks are currently refusing to buy Portuguese bonds. Iceland will neither give up its rich fishing grounds – producing 40% of its exports – to join the disastrous common fisheries policy, nor abandon an Icelandic Parliament that is more than 1 000 years old and the winner of a UNESCO award for democracy. Even with a banking hangover, Iceland, like Britain, remains better off outside. No fooling there!"@en1
