lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, there is reason to hope that the countries of Europe, with their ancestral and cultural ties, have overcome their inherited rivalries and grievances. However, I do not see that as a legacy of the European Union, but of an entirely understandable revulsion of the loss of life during two world wars and later conflicts. The emergence of common threats and challenges have led to a convergence of the interests of the nation states of Europe, whether within or outside the borders of the EU. We are undergoing a neo-colonial challenge from Third World immigration, our industries and our jobs are threatened by the emergent economies and our cultural values are threatened by aggressive religious predators. However, convergence does not mean congruence. Our interests are not identical, we have distinct alliances, friendships and interests of both kinds that are attributable to ancestral and historical differences. A presumption of common interest where none exists will be unsuccessful and even counterproductive."@en1
