lpv:spoken text	"I and my British Conservative colleagues believe that the European Parliament must have one permanent seat – in Brussels. We have campaigned for many years to end the existence of two seats and the EUR 200 million per year this costs the taxpayer and the millions of pounds it costs the British taxpayer. In addition, we are seriously concerned at the environmental impact the existence of two seats has in terms of carbon emissions. We have supported an amendment to the calendar for 2008 which sought to delete Thursday sittings in Strasbourg. This is not in any way an alternative to the principled position we hold which is to end Strasbourg sessions, but recognition of the fact that the Treaties currently demand that 12 sessions must be held in Strasbourg. We call on the European Council to include this issue in the mandate for the IGC, the only forum where this matter can be resolved."@en1
