lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, whilst I am not an enthusiast for the European Union, if we must have it, I prefer it to be more European rather than less European. These negotiations between the EU and Mercosur – and many other trading associations – show that the EU is not exclusively, or even mainly, focused on Europe. It is globalist. It has the ambitions that all cosmopolitans and neo-liberals have, of a borderless, undifferentiated world in which goods, services and people will move without let or hindrance. The result of this is not only that eventually all distinctive peoples and therefore cultures will disappear, but that all wage rates and standards of living will approximate to the same level – which would not be the level that modern Europeans enjoy. The theory of international trade is that the world as a whole will be richer as the result of comparative advantage. However, it is not necessarily true that each country or continent, or each social group and sector, will also be richer."@en1
