lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as we ask citizens to tighten their belts, they ask us what we are doing. The European Parliament should lead by example but does not have any record of austerity. On the contrary, its budget has been increased to over EUR 1.6 billion. Until recently cuts in the budget of the European Parliament were regarded as an anti-European act, but in current conditions it is a pro-European act. As a member of the ECR, I have always proposed an overhaul of the budget of the European Parliament. Together with my colleague Geoffrey Van Orden, I recently launched a paper in the framework of our think tank, New Direction, to cut the budget of Parliament over the years by 25%. New Direction’s paper is called ‘Ending the Excess’ and a copy has been sent to members of the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on Budgetary Control. We have to cut excess in Parliament, like subsidies for restaurants. We have to review the language regime and limit the number of languages for translation of documents in preparatory stages and we have to scrap the House of European History, which is a prestige project out of place and will become the white elephant of the European Parliament, for which citizens will despise us."@en1
