lpv:translated text	"Mr President, speaking as a French MEP who has defended Strasbourg, I must say that Mr McMillan-Scott raises a real problem. It is clear that the solution to that problem cannot, in my opinion, be to relocate everything to Brussels, thereby transforming Brussels into a sort of federal district of the European Union. The solution lies in respect for the Treaties and in the French Government’s agreeing, finally, to make the necessary investments to ensure an appropriate service for Strasbourg. I think that, in mentioning this incident, which could have arisen just as well in the case of Brussels, and has indeed done so on some occasions – and I can confirm that, as have several other Members – our British friends have nevertheless raised a real issue which could be the subject of a complaint by the authorities of this House to the French authorities. Having said that, the eminently symbolic nature of Strasbourg in the construction of Europe, its central position and the importance of not concentrating all the authorities of the European Union in Brussels, argue in favour of respecting the Treaties and retaining the city of Strasbourg as the venue for Parliament’s sittings."@en1
