lpv:spoken text	"One hundred and twenty years ago, the British Parliament passed the Sale of Goods Act. In 1979, that Act was re-enacted with minor amendments and it remains very much the same today. Every day in Britain, millions of people and thousands of businesses buy and sell under contracts governed by the Sale of Goods Act. The Act has stood the test of time because it is a model of brevity, clarity and simplicity. Now along comes the Commission, in its self-absorbed wisdom, proffering a common European sales law. Twice the length of the UK Sale of Goods Act, it is a minor masterpiece of legislative flatulence which will benefit only lawyers. It is voluntary for the UK at the moment, but on past form our British consumers will eventually be deprived of the tried and tested benefits of English law and our government will be powerless."@en1
