lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I implore you, on behalf of Edinburgh in Scotland, to reconsider, with the Bureau, its flawed decision to hold the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly in Strasbourg, rather than in my home city, Edinburgh. It is bad enough that we have to come to Strasbourg, without inflicting it on innocent third parties. Edinburgh and Scotland hosted the G8 Summit this year. The UK currently holds the Presidency of the European Union and Scotland wants this meeting to be in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh bid was better and cheaper. The Scottish Government will commit 100 000 Scottish pounds to help this event take place. We are used to welcoming hundreds of thousands of people to Scotland with warm Scottish hospitality every day. We want this meeting to be held in Edinburgh and we are willing to play our part to make it happen. I hope you and the Bureau will be able to play your part and reconsider."@en1
