lpv:spoken text	"Although I sympathise with the aim of this report to reduce CO emissions and create a better environment, I was unfortunately unable to give my full backing to this report. It was impossible to support the phasing out of the exemption on household fuels by 2025. This measure will hit the poorest the hardest. The wording of this report does not sufficiently address the problems of fuel poverty, which is faced by millions of people, and I feel that this is not an appropriate measure to take in the current economic climate. Furthermore, I could not support the proposal for fiscal neutrality for fuel, which would result in a huge hike in diesel prices at home. However, there were positive aspects of this report – for example the proposal to ensure that CO taxation will not apply to those industries that are already subject to the ETS – and I believe that this exemption is vital for industry across the UK."@en1
