lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are in for exciting times in Brussels. We are discussing hundreds of billions of euros for the next few years. Ideally, I would not like to see a cent go to the European Union and I hope – you have to stay pragmatic – that Mr Cameron gets his way and we stick at 800 billion, which is dreadful enough. It is not just about the money though. It is also about where we all want to go with the European Union. There are actually only a few people in this House who have an honest view of the future of the European Union. There are the federalists on one side, who are very clear about where they want to go and that is the United States of Europe, and that is the way we are going if we do nothing. Mr President, on the other side is a group, and I count myself among them, that is highly Euro-sceptic. They say: we do not want a federation and we have to do away with the EU. That is an honest view that makes sense to the citizens but the majority in this Parliament just keep lying to the citizens. There is no middle way. It is onward and upward or defeat for the EU. It is either a federal state or the dissolution of the European Union. Mr President, I choose the latter option with my heart and soul, in the interests of Dutch citizens and out of respect for our centuries-old sovereignty. Away with the European Parliament. Away with the Commission and away with the European Union. Then there will no longer be any need for us to bicker over hundreds of billions of tax-payer’s money in times of crisis."@en1
