lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, in this last annual debate on common foreign and security policy before the British referendum, let us say Britain is stronger in Europe and helps make Europe stronger in the world. Europe’s anti-piracy mission on the Horn of Africa was controlled from the UK Forces command headquarters in Northwood. Britain formed the EU 3+3 that led to the Iran nuclear deal. The London Donor Conference for Syria was made a success because the EU leveraged the three billion raised. EU foreign policy has a veto for all, but where we do agree, we all exercise more influence. Britain leaving the EU would carry more international burden. According to the Director of Europol and the former Chief of British Special Forces, my country would be less secure. And as has been argued today, it would harm the whole international order. In the modern world of partnerships, the US and Chinese Presidents, the Indian Prime Minister and Commonwealth allies including Australia and New Zealand all say that it is better for Britain to remain in the EU. As Chancellor Merkel has said, only Vladimir Putin would be happy if Britain left. Throughout history, from the Congress of Vienna to the end of the Napoleonic Wars, to the Locarno Pact at the end of the First World War to the great Labour Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, who forged the relationship between America and Europe at the end of the Second World War, Britain has engaged in Europe to secure peace. I do not believe British Eurosceptics know better than the Nobel Prize Committee, which says that the EU is the most successful peace process in history. My parents fought the war in Europe to win the peace. I will fight the referendum to keep it."@en1
