"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the volcanic ash in the air above Europe has held up proceedings in Europe’s institutions. It has, in particular, stymied the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg as almost half of MEPs have failed to get here.
Strasbourg is presumably a difficult destination to reach, and downright impossible in exceptional circumstances. On this point, I would like to ask the following question: is this not yet another sign that the European Parliament needs to make a decision about having just one main site, and that to be in Brussels? I assume you will all agree that against the backdrop of a financial crisis, establishing a single main site for Parliament will save millions of taxpayers’ euros. It will also make the travelling circus, as our once-monthly move is often described, a thing of the past."@en1
