lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, my constituents will not be too surprised to learn that their hard-earned money taken by taxes and passed on to the EU is being negligently handed out by the net recipients of the EU budget. In a week when many Member States are seeking an increase in the EU budget to just over EUR one trillion, my constituents in the UK say this is unacceptable in a time of austerity. The blame for the failure to have the audit signed off for the 18th year lies firmly at the door of the unelected bureaucrats of the EU. They have failed the taxpayers of Europe once again. I note that 60 % of the errors found by the Court could have been detected by Member States, yet it is the quagmire of rules and unnecessary complications that is at fault. And what is the EU doing to correct this? It is not even notifying the Member States concerned of the direct problems. One of the examples of the billions wasted is the EUR 700 million to establish the rule of law and reduce corruption in Kosovo, but the results are poor according to the report. Staff delegated were not even sufficiently trained, yet the EU thinks that by throwing in taxpayers’ money without reasonable constraint it can solve the problem. And what about pan-European parties? What about public financing of political parties such as the right-wing extremist parties to which some UKIP Members have signed up, some Nazis – what about the financing of that? A colleague of mine talked about confidence. Well, the people of the UK have less and less confidence in the EU, which is why we need an in-or-out referendum, sooner rather than later."@en1
