lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I also voted against the Brok report despite my own, and my party's, long-standing commitment to a wider Europe. The terms that we have offered the applicant states are unimaginative and mean. More than anything, the nations of Central and Eastern Europe should be able to exploit their natural advantages of low costs and cheaper exports and so price themselves into the market. But we are forcing them to join the euro, the forty-eight hour week, the common agricultural policy and the Social Chapter, while at the same time forcing them to devalue their recently-won democracies. It is for the peoples of these states to decide. In the cases of Malta and Slovenia, where they have already done so, I also voted 'yes'. But I cannot help feeling that we ought to have offered them a more generous and flexible deal. A further elaboration is provided in the ten-point explanation of vote submitted in writing by SOS Democracy."@en1
