lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, budgetary discipline, sound financial management – surely these words are alien to this place! In fact, they are veritable oxymorons when used in relation to anything to do with the finances of the European Union. This agreement is designed to keep the whole crumbling edifice of the EU in place. It uses lots of high-sounding words that give the impression that the EU is professional, well organised and has properly-maintained financial records. All I can say to that is ‘phooey’. Words mean nothing. After 11 years of abject failure to produce auditable financial accounts, how can we possibly justify putting in place an agreement allowing more of the same? My colleagues and I will therefore be voting against this agreement on principle, but then we do not believe in the European Union either. It is a morally bankrupt, institutionally wrong and dangerously undemocratic organisation, a dinosaur in the modern world. It is a major threat to security, freedom and, more importantly, the economic future of Europe."@en1
