lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to thank Mr Juncker very much indeed for coming to the Chamber this afternoon and for outlining his White Paper. Mr Juncker, it was very nice to see you and I will regret losing you in two-and-a-half years’ time when you go into retirement. But the legacy you will leave, sir, in terms of the White Paper that you have outlined this afternoon is really quite dangerous and a real delusion in terms of denial of what has happened. Everything that has happened in the European Union in the last few days – and last few years for that matter – has been because of lack of action: the lack of sensible action, or the lack of action full-stop. And so what you see across the European continent is the emergence of all the threats and all the issues that you have highlighted in your White Paper, but there is nothing in the White Paper that gives citizens across Europe the opportunity to voice their discontent – via referenda, for instance – and actually highlight to you what is wrong. We all wish the European Union project a future. There are 27 Member States that want that to happen. There is one Member State that has made the right decision to walk away. But, sir, can I just implore you to look at that White Paper? You have signalled with your fifth option what your preference is, but I ask you again, for the sake of 440 million citizens, please go back to a blueprint and come up with something new, something that does not just paper over the cracks and look backwards for solutions, rather than looking forward for what is actually required."@en1
