"Madam President, the estimates for the 2013 budget show no evidence of any substantial savings. Even just the insistence that Parliament be given a single seat would be a step in the right direction to slim down this costly project. I will, therefore, vote against this report.
Madam President, the best form of saving would, of course, be to dissolve this Mickey Mouse parliament. All Member States already have excellent parliaments and they are represented in the Council through their democratically elected officials. If we were to do this, I predict we would save in the region of EUR 2 billion.
In the meantime, it is, of course, ridiculous that we should be spending huge amounts on licensing fees by using archaic Microsoft software whereas we should, of course, be using open-source software. Open-source software not only ensures that we do not have to pay licensing costs; it also means a significant reduction in IT support."@en1
