"( Mr President, I must honestly say that this is the first building I have been in where I often find myself thinking, “How would I get out of here if there were a fire?” It is quite straightforward in certain places, but you cannot get over to the other side if you do not use the narrow bridges with the glass parapets. I really should like us as soon as possible to have a very realistic fire drill for all Members of Parliament, tradesmen, visitors etc., so that we know basically how to get out of the place. We talked earlier about the lifts being too small. There is talk about the staircases and, regarding these, I think it might be worth knowing what kind of materials have been used in them. If they can be re-painted, I should like to see the walls there being re-painted as well. Certainly I do not think that very much could be seen if the stairwells were filled with smoke, but you do not, in any case, feel particularly safe when it is completely dark and you do not know if the electricity is going to work in an emergency. A very realistic fire drill is absolutely necessary, then, before we perhaps discover that there is a real fire. In that way, we might at least be a little prepared and be able to find our way out of the building, as well as see if there are enough emergency exits. I am not too familiar with quite specifically what intellectual property law means in French legislation. I should be very glad indeed if I could find out what is copyright and what we can attend to in relation to possible costs. We are, in spite of everything, only here one week a month. Perhaps we can avoid a number of extremely high costs which are not directly necessary. One small wish that has been expressed for a number of years by the Scandinavian countries is that we should have access to the Scandinavian press here. I do not know if it is possible, but it is clearly desirable. It is not something uppermost on my wish list, but a comment all the same. Finally, I should like to say that, for Swedish electors, irrespective of which party they vote for, this travelling between two buildings under construction, meaning that irregularities cannot clearly be established, is not in fact defensible. Nor do I intend to defend it."@en1
