lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, France is a beautiful country and Strasbourg is a wonderful city, with splendid people, interesting architecture and fine monuments. We are all delighted to have the opportunity to spend four days here each month. I believe, however, that our personal feelings should take second place to the interests of the citizens of Europe, who elected us to this House. None of the obstacles mentioned can justify Parliament’s seat remaining in Strasbourg when all of its business is conducted in Brussels. In fact, there are no substantial or rational reasons to do so. Plenary sittings in Strasbourg are simply an extravagance, a luxury that costs millions of euro a year to organise. There can be no doubt that this money could be put to a more sensible use, for example by providing more funding to the European Union’s poorest regions. It is time to put an end to this nonsense. Parliament’s seat in Strasbourg must be done away with."@en1
