lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the Volkswagen scandal of 2015 sent shockwaves across the world. Just how easy it was for Volkswagen to manipulate the emissions testing certainly raised many questions and concerns. Our consumers expect and deserve better from our businesses. But for all the faults that the Volkswagen scandal has exposed, the answer in this place is never to let the market decide or to allow national authorities to learn from mistakes. Instead, the EU takes the opportunity to engulf us in more legislation and more powers for bureaucrats and bureaucracy. For businesses, this is an eye-watering EUR 40 billion bill for the taxpayer. I am absolutely in favour of protecting consumers and holding businesses to account, but I simply cannot support legislation that is going to cost our taxpayers billions, and hand further powers away from the United Kingdom."@en1
