lpv:translated text	"In times of financial instability and increasing austerity policies, like my S&D colleagues, I support the need to show solidarity to our citizens by decreasing our expenditure. However, I also support the need to identify more areas where structural changes can be introduced for making our organisation more efficient, less costly and more responsive to our needs as elected Members of Parliament. One illustrating example is the interpretation services in Strasbourg. Our meetings in Strasbourg last until midnight and require ongoing interpretation services. Since very few local interpreters can be used during these sessions, costs of interpretation for one full working day are 30% higher than in Brussels. If we were to reduce these sessions by only one hour, to end at 23.00, we would be able to cut down expenditure on additional personnel and working hours. This small adjustment would allow a better organisation of our work and an annual saving of approximately EUR 3 million. While this is merely one example for alternative ways to meeting our financial goals, many similar examples exists. Still, as the current budget proposal strikes a balance between our institutional needs and needs of our citizen, I voted in favour of the report."@en1
