lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome increased scrutiny in the policing of intra-European Union trade between Member States. With the vast majority of illicit trade entering my country, the UK, via maritime freight, I am pleased to note that the Hercule III plan provides scope for greater cooperation between Member States and third parties to tackle cigarette smuggling, for instance, as reportedly just under half of the tobacco being sold in my country is illicit. To add to this, the majority of non-UK duty-paid cigarettes in London are directly sourced from other EU Member States, representing an average revenue loss to the United Kingdom of GBP 2 billion a year. I therefore welcome these much-needed reforms to improve cross-border operations and combat smuggling and fiscal fraud. This should be part of our overarching aim of protecting the UK government’s revenues at a time of fiscal austerity."@en1
