lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, if this report is on the fight against fraud in the EU then we are losing. We have got billions a year in irregularities, the time lapse between detection and reporting is now three years, four months and on the way up, and we have got traditional own resources fraud up by 191% in a single year. We hear a lot about VAT fraud here, but actually part of the problem is that VAT is one of the most bureaucratic systems of tax collection known to humanity. So we actually need to look at the problem rather than what always happens in this place, which is calls for more Europe, calls for the EU to get more involved in criminal justice, more involved with a Public Prosecutor’s Office at EU level. What an instructive example of the problem. Every problem: the solution is supposedly more and yet more EU. I will tell you one thing: if people back home in the UK knew what was really going on here, how much power this place really wants, they would vote on 23 June to leave for good."@en1
