lpv:spoken text	"I abstained in the votes on the progress reports for Croatia and Macedonia. I did not do so because I judged either country might be unfit to be a member of the European Union. It would be more accurate to say that I judged the EU to be an unfit organisation for either of them to join. Membership of the European Union involves serious surrender of sovereignty and an unwelcome intrusion of its laws into everyday life. It is increasingly destructive of freedom of speech, writing and even thought. Both countries gained their independence from the Yugoslavian Federation and are now preparing to surrender their sovereignty to the European Union."@en1
