lpv:spoken text	". I and my British Conservative MEP colleagues have abstained on this vote because of our strong disappointment with the outcome of the European Council on 22-23 March. We remain supportive of the President of the Commission's commitment to fundamental economic reform in Europe, but believe his efforts have been badly served by the decisions of Heads of State and Government at the March European Council. The attempt to dilute the Services Directive for short-term political considerations has undermined the reform agenda and inhibits attempts to improve Europe's competitiveness. The changes put forward to the Stability and Growth Pact demonstrates that political factors are outweighing economic considerations, making the Pact increasingly less credible. We welcome some aspects of the Presidency Conclusions, including the commitment to sustainable development and the Kyoto Protocol and also the Motion's strong words against lifting the arms embargo on China. We also welcome the increased sense of urgency in preparing for a possible flu pandemic."@en1
