"Mr President, thank you very much for the publicity.
Mr Farage has talked the whole morning about salaries and the biggest waste of money. Well, colleagues, what I think is the biggest waste of money in the European Union today is the salary we are all paying to Mr Farage – that is the biggest waste of money!
Mr Farage, let us be honest about it. You are a member of the Committee on Fisheries, for example, and you are never there, never! In 2011, no attendance. In 2012, no attendance. It is fantastic what you are doing. You come here saying that the salaries that are paid are a scandal, and you pay yourself a salary without doing any work in your own committee: that is the reality of the European Union today.
You can laugh. I hope that maybe this can be sent out on the BBC this evening, and on all the other private television channels in Britain, showing how you are in fact cheating your own citizens here, all the time, three years in a row already. I think it has to stop.
We know that Mr Alain Lamassoure is right. This Union, if it wants to become a real federal union, needs own resources; it needs in fact its own income, and that is the big battle now. We shall do it together and, if necessary, without you, Mr Farage."@en1
