"Mr President, a few remarks on various budget items. On buildings policy: the only reason why Parliament can still afford the luxury of two seats is quite simply that the citizens do not know enough about this silly custom. Just imagine the French Parliament meeting once a month in Marseille and, of course, charging travel and accommodation costs to the taxpayer. That would cause a huge scandal and the whole business – the travelling circus – would soon be brought to an end. Personally I would, of course, prefer Strasbourg to be the only seat because I think this Chamber seems to be a bit more stable than the one in Brussels.
The citizens know nothing about the European Parliament’s television. The idea may be a good one, as is the transparency it promotes; however, without effective funding for marketing, it is simply a waste of money. I also welcome the Council’s proposals to cut the budget for the agencies, although I would increase the European Return Fund rather than cutting it, and the same applies to the budget for Frontex."@en1
