"Mr President, I am afraid that Mr Duhamel cannot tell the difference between what is populist and what is popular. If only the European citizens could be familiar with the issue and decide on this problem impacting on the European Parliament’s budget, I feel that not even in France would there be even a tiny minority in favour of continuing with similar expenditure and the consequences – which have already been mentioned – for Parliament’s work. It is not just a question of money: the dignity of Parliament, of its work, of its organisation and of its individual Members depends on it too. I therefore thank the Members who have been willing
to stay behind a little longer to talk about this matter. In actual fact, I believe that Parliament must shoulder the responsibility for making these decisions, maybe even initiating an open debate with the Council, and that it must be prepared to take the matter to the Court of Justice as a practical display of its unwillingness to continue to travel between three different seats."@en1
