"Mr President, I would simply like to point out an extravagance which is having a hard time here: the extravagance whereby an institution, however prestigious it may be, should decide unilaterally on where it should sit. In actual fact, all the European institutions have their headquarters determined according to the principle of multi-centralism, which, although it allows the European Union to breathe, does have its price. However, the decision on whether it would be better for Parliament to sit in Strasbourg or in Brussels does not belong to Parliament alone. Otherwise one might consider that the European Council should sit on its own somewhere, the Court of Justice somewhere else, and the Court of Auditors at a third location. It is all the institutions together that give life to the European Union. It is therefore not just one of those institutions, but all the institutions together, either through the Treaty or by a joint decision, that should decide on this delicate question. I would like to see an end to this stupid notion that the institution can of itself determine the place where it carries out its work."@en1
