lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, in foreign policy, in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, there was no consensus, no consensus at all, amongst the Member States. Yet again we see an EU activity that is wasteful, contemptuous of the taxpayer (as my colleague who has left his place was earlier) and duplicates what is already being performed and better executed – and this is the key point – at the national level. Nevertheless, to give just one example, the European Union is now operating an incredible 140 embassies or equivalent, and this costs a lot. To make matters worse, the value of the salary package of up to 500 of the personnel is greater than that received by the British Prime Minister. This is all a gravy train for those who work in it, with no real positive, realistic function, and I feel sure that electorate will come to the same conclusion in May of next year."@en1
