lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I was very disappointed to have to vote against the report at the end. And on behalf of my group I must say we were very disappointed to have to take that negative position because we have supported many of the positive aspects of the report. In particular, as we look to move forward and create a new environment for the creation of new jobs and new opportunities for people within the European Union, we believe that going back over old policies which have failed and rejuvenating them under a new name will not work. Paragraph 29 was the main reason why we had to vote against this report. Paragraph 29 calls for coordination or harmonisation of taxes in the European Union, in particular with regard to the business environment. There has been empirical evidence to prove that reducing business taxation, reducing the cost of labour, increases employment opportunities, increases real jobs with real incomes and also can lead to greater social benefits because of increased taxation delivery. That is why we believe this is the wrong method to move forward and one that should be ignored."@en1
