"Europe does not need a heritage label for historic sites. At a time of austerity we cannot afford to duplicate the UNESCO World Heritage sites or Member States’ own programmes such as English Heritage’s Blue Plaque scheme for London. London is my home town and my home constituency and I am proud that it is one of the few cities in the world with four separate UNESCO World Heritage sites. Nevertheless I see no added value in re-branding Westminster Abbey, Kew Gardens, the Tower of London and Maritime Greenwich as EU Heritage Sites. Of course there is no guarantee that London’s great historic buildings would qualify for the European Heritage Label. The integrationist tone of this report suggests that special attention should be paid to sites of ‘pan-European importance’, so perhaps European tourists in the future will be asked to gaze in wonder at the Berlaymont building in Brussels or the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Perhaps a heritage label is what the European Parliament in Strasbourg deserves; at least that way we would be consigning it to history."@en1
