". – I am grateful, as ever, to Mr Harbour for illuminating questions. On the second point, I should like to take this opportunity of saying what I told the Bureau of Parliament earlier today, and I have said it to many parliamentarians: the package of proposed reforms of the Staff Regulations are now before Parliament and the Council. Everyone's interests would be served – in particular Parliament's interests – if it were possible for Parliament to arrive at its opinion this year, simply because that would then facilitate consideration of any revisions that Parliament proposed or any opinions that it presented. Consideration of those features could then take place properly in the early months of 2003. If we receive Parliament's opinion late, then that, obviously, would put pressure on the time available for the proper consideration of Parliament's opinion.
On the first question, we believe that a properly equipped modern facility Berlaymont would, at the right price, be an appropriate home for the European Commission. There is no doubt about that. Certainly, with the additional pressures that are coming with an unprecedented enlargement, that emphasises the case. However desirable and however appropriate the Berlaymont is – and we have made that clear throughout – the acceptability of the Berlaymont is conditional upon the satisfaction of standards of quality and the negotiation and conclusion on a reasonable price. Until those conditions are satisfied, we cannot conclusively say that we would definitely go back into the Berlaymont, however desirable it may be in terms of location and facility."@en1
