lpv:spoken text	"Thank you very much, Commissioner, for your comments. I do not understand your assertion that there will be no transfer of powers. If you are increasing qualified majority voting and therefore taking away the national veto, you are effectively transferring powers from the nation state to the European institutions. I am also very uncomfortable with your statement that you would only seek harmonisation of tax in areas "linked to the single market" because we know that, if that phrase is interpreted liberally – as the European institutions are inclined to do – practically everything can be said to be linked to the single market. Are you aware, Sir, that the leader of the British Conservative Party has said that we have reached the limits of European integration? Are you aware of recent public opinion surveys showing that the British people are opposed to the transfer of further powers from the nation state to Brussels, and how will you take those facts into account?"@en1
