lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I am not reassured that this proposal is not protectionist, because that is exactly what it ought to be. The countries of Europe, individually or collectively, ought to protect their jobs and their businesses. The question which has not been asked is whether it is in the interests of any country or trading bloc, if you will, to open its public procurement market to other countries or blocs. Public expenditure is ultimately funded by domestic taxes, but if it generates economic activity – and it does – it should be for the benefit of that country or those countries’ own peoples. The report confirms that market access by companies from third countries is part of the common commercial policy which falls under the exclusive competence of the Union. The EU’s wish to maximise international access to these markets shows that the EU is not so much a European Union as a global union in waiting."@en1
