lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I want to speak tonight on behalf of Northern Ireland’s ports, which would be devastated by these proposals. This is yet another example of the EU trying to impose a one-size-fits-all solution. Ports in Northern Ireland are already part of a thriving, competitive independent UK sector. Belfast Harbour handles goods valued at GBP 30 billion annually, 700 companies are based in the harbour estate, over 22 000 people are employed there. Foyle Port supports an estimated 1 000 jobs, representing wages of GBP 26 million annually into the local economy. No political union should seek to jeopardise these benefits for local people. What we have in this proposal are bureaucratic obstacles to growth and job creation, the imposition of excessive regulation and oversight. It penalises the ports as being service providers. Of course we all know that if this gets through, it is simply the beginning. Tomorrow I will be voting to reject this approach and to protect Northern Ireland’s economy."@en1
