lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, essentially this to me shows that there are two honest positions in terms of membership of the European Union. You either take the federalist approach and recognise that, for everything that the European Union tries to do as a whole, it requires then to harmonise taxation, it requires then greater powers, greater centralisation, and you embrace that. It is an honest position. It is not a position that I personally share. The other honest position is to say that actually, that is not what the United Kingdom requires; that we are better as an independent, self-governing nation, as the world’s fifth largest economy; that we want to be good neighbours with Europe: we want to trade with Europe but we do not want European government. Those two positions are honest. What I find very difficult is the third way: this idea that we can somehow be in Europe but act as a brake pedal on Europe. That is not fair on the UK; it is not fair on the rest of Europe either. We need to be honest: are we in or are we out?"@en1
