lpv:translated text	"The European Parliament has just expressed, yet again, its opposition to the Friday morning part-session in the plenary weeks held in Strasbourg. It does not have the right to do this, because it has to obey the Treaty. It is, in fact, infringing the Treaty on two points. First of all, as the Court of Justice pointed out in 1997, when the Treaty refers to the twelve periods of monthly plenary sessions, it is referring to existing practice, which is that of periods lasting one week. Secondly, the additional plenary sessions which may be held in Brussels are intended to provide a supplement when working time in Strasbourg is fully occupied. It is therefore not possible to get rid of Strasbourg weeks while at the same time adding on mini-sessions in Brussels. Nor is it correct to plan the Brussels sessions a year in advance, without knowing whether or not the Strasbourg agenda will be full. I deplore the fact that the previous French Government did not bring the matter before the Court of Justice when the Strasbourg Friday sessions were omitted in 2000 and 2001, and I hope that the next government will do better."@en1
