lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the question of trade policy has spilled out into the streets of Kiev and has become a question on which the existential future of a government rests. I have to say I have every sympathy with those Ukrainians who want to sign an FTA with Europe rather than a customs union with the Eurasian Union, for this basic reason: a free trade agreement is not exclusive. Joining a customs union means that you cannot sign a free trade agreement with anybody else. You purchase free trade within that customs union at the expense of trade elsewhere. I am sure you can guess where this argument is going. The United Kingdom unusually exports more to non-EU markets than to EU markets but we cannot sign free trade agreements with China or India or Australia because we contracted that policy out to Brussels on 1 January 1973. Given that every continent in the world except Europe is now growing, I say that is a pretty uncomfortable place to be."@en1
