lpv:spoken text	"I and my UKIP colleagues voted against this non-legislative and non-binding report. The report called for the EU to interfere in the education system and national curricula of Member States; it called for propaganda campaigns to be conducted by the Commission; and called for gender quotas – specifically progress on the ‘women on boards’ directive. While UKIP supports the development of the digital economy, we cannot support calls for more EU legislation. With regard to gender quotas you cannot fight discrimination with more discrimination – jobs should be based on merit, not gender. UKIP voted against paragraph 66 as it called for new EU legislation that could interfere with criminal laws in the UK. UKIP of course opposes all forms of violence and bullying, however, initiatives and laws to tackle this should solely be a Member State competency, by our elected national government, not unaccountable EU institutions."@en1
