lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, with this report the European Union has once again demonstrated that it is actually incapable of proper and radical reform. It had the opportunity back in 2016, before the Brexit vote, when our then UK Prime Minister came to the European Union and sought reform and came away with, quite frankly, crumbs on the table, and you now know what the result of that was. One of my colleagues this morning has made the point about ‘more Europe’. Well, it is interesting, is it not? The European Union actually sees reform as an absolutely binary decision: either you continue with the same, or, more Europe. But both have been discredited and I just wonder when is this institution going to get real, take away the blinkers and understand that radical reform is what voters want. Thankfully, of course, the UK will not be part of that decision, but if you are going to stop the rise of euro—scepticism across the continent, it is no good papering over the cracks, it is no good bringing a report like this forward, which does not deal with the issues that are out there, and every time responding with ‘more Europe will actually deal with globalisation’ – that is not the case."@en1
