lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, this report confirms what I have been warning my constituents in London about, and the British people generally, for some years, which is that the EU intends to create its own system of criminal law. This project is already very well advanced and very comprehensive and I have written about it in a report of my own . We do not need an EU system of criminal law in England. We have something called the common law which has taken a thousand years to evolve. We have safeguards under the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights and habeas corpus, which are being swept away under this new system. They are being set aside. A British citizen can now be sent off to any corner of the European Union on the strength of a piece of paper with vague accusations. They can be imprisoned for months or years. The English and Scottish courts have abdicated their duty to protect their own citizens from arbitrary arrest and imprisonment. Your system of EU criminal law would do for our liberties what the European single currency has done for your economies."@en1
