lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I thought the EU could not get any worse and then I came across this report. It starts with a hefty helping of self-delusion: ‘never have Europeans been more demanding of the EU’. Well, increasing numbers of British people are demanding that we come out of it. Perhaps that is what they mean. It dismisses utterly the idea of freezing the budget after 2013 and insists that even an increase of 5% would allow only a limited contribution to the EU’s objectives. Well, we must be thankful for small mercies. Tucked away in the middle of paragraph 166 is a call for an end to rebates. This is the device by which the United Kingdom pays only an unacceptable net contribution instead of an outrageous net contribution. Insisting that the UK should pay over its hard-earned money is bad enough, but paragraph 169 suggests that the EU should have the power to levy its own taxes without our consent and without our control. That is simply unacceptable."@en1
