lpv:spoken text	"The creation of new ‘macro-regions’ to establish macro-regional identity equates to ‘social and financial engineering.’ It allows Brussels to increase funding for regions who are unable to comply, or spend/invest responsibly and would include funding for Maghreb countries, which are already benefiting from EU Neighbourhood Policy and the EU Mediterranean Association pact and who, in my opinion, should not become automatic recipients of EU funding derived from EU taxpayers during times of such financial difficulty. It enables the EU to spread its scope and power via handouts, not passed by the public. In the light of these proposals, we are likely to expect an Atlantic strategy, Carpathian strategy, Balkan strategy, and so on, representing a large cost to EU Member States without prior consultation."@en1
