lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, every Member State in the EU faces an age of austerity. Across Europe, radical cuts to public expenditure are being made, yet taxpayers are compelled to fund the increased expenditure of the European Union itself, year after year. We must ask ourselves why this Parliament’s highest priority is not to protect the taxpayers we represent and to reduce the EU’s expenditure. It is absurd that while spending on law and order and education, and on other vital public services, are cut at home, no such discipline is shown by the EU. The salaries of many public sector workers have been frozen, or even cut – I wonder how much solidarity the Commissioner sitting there will show them. If Member States are cutting expenditure by 20% in real terms over the next five years, we should demand that the EU do the same. This Parliament should demand that the Commission reduce its expenditure and refund the unspent money to the Member States."@en1
