lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this matter of dual use items keeps on coming up. Its significance is that, in order to export anything on the dual use list, we in the UK need to get permission from the European Commission first. The EU justifies this by asserting that the dual use list prevents weapons falling into the hands of dictators. Given that EU companies sold Colonel Gaddafi the incredible sum of 300 million euros’ worth of arms in just five years, that assertion comes across as being on one level invalid and on another level hypocritical. To be clear: the purpose of this proposal is to give yet more power to the Commission to designate what items should go on the dual use list. The UK is a global trading nation, and we as a nation [I thought it was a minute and half] find it wholly unacceptable that unelected bureaucrats should have the right to regulate Britain’s exporters and even veto hard-won export orders."@en1
