lpv:translated text	"I have not joined in the campaign for reform of the EP intending to make it more efficient, transparent and accountable. The purpose of the campaign, started by the socialist Member, Mr van Hulten, is to abolish Strasbourg as a seat and Luxembourg as a venue. Hypocritically, Members of the European Parliament and candidates in the European elections are being asked to ‘make a commitment to increasing efficiency by seeking to end the dispersal of European Parliament facilities (...) and establishing a single seat in Brussels’. I eventually voted in favour of the report, after my group’s amendments had been accepted. Otherwise, I should not have been able to do so, since Mr van Hulten misused his report in order to adopt a position with respect to the seat of the EP, which is not within our remit. A survey of civil servants in Strasbourg and Luxembourg has shown that 95% are against moving to Brussels. Mr van Hulten totally ignores the difficulties which this project would cause for the families affected, not to mention the cost of this in terms of both money and productivity. I shall not be intimidated by this manoeuvring and this blackmail on the pretext of restoring the credibility of the European Parliament."@en1
