lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I quote from a recent article in the British Press: ‘Britain’s booming wine industry will be scuppered by EU regulations that want to prohibit growers in Britain, all of them unsubsidised, from planting any more vines if their sales continue to soar’. Growers – many of them in my region – have been calling on the Commission to increase the threshold or scrap it altogether. Just what is it about English wine that becomes so intimidating? Is it that when tasted blind with French wines and others, English wines come out on top for taste, thus our competitors are simply jealous? Or is it because there are regions in other EU countries producing hugely subsidised grapes that will never produce decent wine? Or is it just that when the EU sees something successful, it has to interfere, regulate and destroy it? Can you wonder why more and more folk want nothing to do with the EU when it destroys their livelihoods?"@en1
