lpv:spoken text	"I have listened to the debate on the motion of censure with increasing disbelief. The issue at stake here is not who lodged the motion or the motives of the Independence Democracy Group, it is about whether the Commission President is under a duty to answer questions asked of him by members of this house. The people of Europe have a perception that MEPs and Commissioners do not live up to high standards, and whether or not we like it this is the reality which we must acknowledge and remedy, not close ranks and pretend does not exist. The need for continued reform of our and the Commission procedures is urgent. I deplore the motives of the Independence and Democracy Group, but their actions could have provided an opportunity to strengthen our procedures. By attacking them rather than the problem, the leaders of the groups have missed an opportunity today."@en1
