lpv:translated text	". I have just abstained in the vote on the work of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, although with hindsight I wish I had actually voted ‘no’. Over the years that I have been attending this Parliament and working here, I have ever more strongly got the impression that the ACP positions primarily serve as an excuse for nice trips around the world, and in all directions too. Let us be honest, what difference have they ever made? Maybe what we need is just an evaluation of the whole gamut of parliamentary positions. They look pretty nice indeed. I am sure it is very pleasant to get to see something of the world at Joe Public’s expense too, but whether all that taxpayers’ money has actually delivered any benefit outside the hotel and airline sectors is something I very much doubt."@en1
