"Mr President, I am in favour of the European Parliament having just one seat. I am very pleased that Parliament has now voted for just one seat, and by a large majority. We must now try to persuade our governments that the Council, Foreign Affairs Ministers and Prime Ministers should raise this issue at the joint meetings of European Ministers. We have heard that not one Member State has mentioned the matter for years.
The fact that there are two places of work, however, costs taxpayers EUR 180 million a year, and that is a lot of money at a time when we should be making savings. A total of 5 000 officials come here for just a few days. The movement of people and paper on such a scale also takes its toll on the environment. The EU should also save on all administrative costs."@en1
