lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, political states that want to demonstrate that they have come of age plan achievements that are both monumental and symbolic. Spain achieved unity under Christian rulers in 1492, and within a year sent Christopher Columbus on a historic quest to discover a western route to the East and, of course, discovered the New World, the existence of which Donald Rumsfeld – had he been around – might have said we did not know that we did not know about. The Commission is quite right to point out that great enterprises bring in their wake consequential benefits: new products, new knowledge, riches and inspiration for innovation, as well as a few detriments, of course. However, the real motivation is to confer authority and legitimacy on a political entity that might otherwise falter. In the words of the Commission, ‘space serves to cement the EU’s position as a major player on the international stage and contributes to the Union’s economic and political independence’. For the EU’s independence, read our slavery."@en1
