lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this is one of the most illiberal and dishonest measures ever to come out of the EU, one with potentially enormous consequences. It has nothing to do with citizens' freedoms and rights, and everything to do with a monstrous power-grab by Brussels. In the book by George Orwell, the state ministries were given names which represented the exact opposite of their functions. Thus, the Ministry of Peace was concerned with war, the Ministry of Truth was responsible for propaganda, and so on. From this stemmed the term "Orwellian inversion", meaning a description which implies the opposite. How appropriate it is, therefore, that this measure should be approved by the Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs – the ultimate Orwellian inversion. In approving this decision, the committee should be ashamed of itself and, if this so-called Parliament adopts that decision today, it too should be thoroughly ashamed. It will be betraying the very principles it claims to support."@en1
