lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, how many lobbyists does it take to persuade an MEP? Forty, apparently, because with 30 000 lobbyists in this city, there are 40 for every single Member of this Parliament. The European Commission is currently carrying out a consultation on whether a transparency register should be mandatory. Only in the European institutions would a non-mandatory transparency register be considered anything other than an oxymoron. Seventy per cent of the 30 000 lobbyists represent corporate interests. Nine members of the last Commission are now corporate lobbyists, making sure that the revolving door remains well oiled. Industry representatives outnumber academics, consumer groups, and trade unions by four to one on commission expert groups, and 75% of all EU legislation shows visible progressions owing to corporate pressure. With these facts in mind, can we really be expected to believe that agreements such as TTIP, CETA and TISA are being negotiated in the interests of EU citizens?"@en1
