lpv:spoken text	"Jobs could be lost at the Port of Tyne and Teesport if PSR is passed in this Parliament today. The proposed PSR will have a substantial impact on privately-owned ports. Most continental ports are in public ownership but 75% of British ports are in private ownership, so the United Kingdom will be the most affected. Ports will be forced to contract out services and appoint at least two service providers, even if only one is required. This will undermine the competitiveness of local ports in a tough market. The proposed PSR would also undermine commercial confidentiality. I am very concerned at the impact the regulations would have on Teesport: it is another kick in the teeth for hard-working people. Our local economy is under severe strain, and our transport links are a huge part of the fact that the North East is a net exporting region. We simply cannot afford to risk further loss of jobs at a time when our region already has the highest unemployment in the country. This proposal is a timely reminder that staying in the EU actually carries a substantial risk to local people’s jobs. The UK has Europe’s second-largest port sector, with 344 000 jobs across the country."@en1
