"Mr President, I wish to raise a point about yet another problem with the travel office in Strasbourg. The administration of the European Parliament stipulates in the contract that only vehicles without taxi signs may be used. This appears to contravene French legislation. The French Ministry of the Interior stated in a letter back in 1998 that special rules apply in Strasbourg. For about the last two months, drivers working for the European Parliament have been repeatedly stopped and checked by the police, as was the case on Monday at Strasbourg Airport, while Members of Parliament were sitting on the plane. If we demand that they get an additional vehicle for the travel office just for the week of the part-session – which is now only four days long – then it would seem to me that we have overstepped the mark and are guilty of harassment. I should therefore like to urge you, Mr President, to make representations to the French Ministry of the Interior on the need for a permanent, practicable regulation for the drivers.
If, in addition to poor flight connections to and from Strasbourg, further restrictions are imposed on Members via the travel office, Strasbourg will become an even less attractive location."@en1
