lpv:spoken text	"I was unable to support granting discharge to the European Parliament as some concerns remained unresolved. Although Parliament has taken steps to improve its budget and make savings, questions remain over some issues such as funding for prizes, which are currently paid for by the tax payer. In addition to this, the final report failed to acknowledge the amount of money being wasted on Strasbourg. The report did, however, show that some progress is being made. Following today’s vote, new rules will need to be put in place to ensure that MEPs from all EU countries take steps to ensure the transparency of their office expenses. The report also called for a review of Parliament’s expenditure in order to guarantee savings are made in future."@en1
