When we vote on the discharge of accounts, there is no clear distinction between what is in line with political decisions governing financial management and the recognition of the validity of the accounts presented; if I have objections to raise as regards the former, the same is not necessarily true of the latter. Otherwise, the report contains certain points and recommendations that completely justify my vote in favour. In this context, I wish to express my support for single status for MEPs, which would put an end to the unacceptable inequality between people elected by equal citizens. I also endorse the objective of turning Brussels into Parliament’s sole, permanent seat in order to make best use of human and financial resources; after all, for Parliament to have two seats implies twice the cost, which is burdensome and absurd. Lastly, I agree with the need to increase funding earmarked for interpreting. Knowledge of foreign languages must not be a precondition for MEPs to carry out their duties."@en1
