"For the second time in several weeks, a majority of MEPs have voted in favour of a single seat for the European Parliament and therefore against the seat in Strasbourg. I deeply regret that once again, this subject has been introduced almost on the sly through a report on another issue. This time, it is through this report on the European Parliament’s budget by recalling the need to make savings. Changing the seat of the European Parliament, which is enshrined in the European Treaties, does, however, merit a real debate, allowing us to address all of the consequences of such a decision and taking into account the complex historical circumstances that have made Strasbourg the seat of the only European institution whose members are directly elected by the citizens of the Member States. As for the rest of the budget, Parliament’s priorities for 2013 may be summed up in several proposals to freeze various budget lines relating to administrative operation, but with a logic of rationalisation that could jeopardise the defence of multilingualism or funding for projects aimed particularly at raising citizens’ awareness of European history or issues relating to the European elections."@en1
