"I abstained on the final vote as the report did not specify that it would cut the generous expenses, salaries and other privileges of MEPs. I call for all MEPs to be on a salary not in excess of that of a skilled worker. Any expenses incurred in the exercise of their duties should be fully vouched for and be published on a regular basis. Due to the unnecessary financial and environmental cost, I supported the amendment calling for a single seat for the European Parliament; however, I believe that this must occur together with investment in public works in the city of Strasbourg to ensure that there is no loss in jobs in the Strasbourg region. I voted in favour of the amendment calling for a cut in the state funding of EU political parties and foundations. I believe that political parties, including those at an international level, should be primarily funded ‘from the bottom up’ through contributions from their members and non-corporate supporters."@en1
