lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it is said that the EU project has no greater ambition than to see the destruction of nation states and to have unwanted and unrealistic federal fantasies imposed upon them. There is an EU programme called Interreg – detailed in the British press today – which demands the setting-up of ‘transnational regions’. These include parts of Europe that are not even part of the EU: the southern part of Norway is in one such region; northern Norway and Iceland is another. Perhaps this is one reason why Iceland has decided not to even think about joining the EU for many years to come. My question is, who asked the bureaucrats to spend time considering such stupidity? You will be distressed, however, that these crazy folk have fallen foul of the law of unintended consequences. They have hastened the day when Britain says goodbye, for, as Winston Churchill once said, ‘Up with this we will not put’."@en1
