lpv:spoken text	"The very proposal to create an EU system of criminal law is chilling. By what authority can Brussels be the arbiter of criminal law when it has been proven so democratically bereft and unaccountable to its 500 million citizens? It lays the foundations for the creation of a European police state – something which no single member of the public in any Member State has ever voted for. We have Common Law in the UK and Scotland whose safeguards are being undermined by the creation of EU criminal law; important safeguards such as our Bill of Rights and . Our courts will have to abdicate their duty to serve to protect citizens against unjust accusation and imprisonment if they are forced to kowtow to unelected and undemocratic processes administered by the EU."@en1
