lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the resolution. I would particularly like to stress the need to take a decision on locating the European Parliament’s seat in one place, and not, as has been the case up to now, in Brussels and in Strasbourg. Firstly, this would be a responsible attitude towards the resources paid in taxes by European citizens. Secondly, just like any directly elected parliament, the European Parliament ought to be entitled to decide on its own seat. Thirdly, this vote sends a clear message to Member States that the issue of Parliament’s seat must be resolved at the next intergovernmental conference, which will at some point be convened in order to review Europe’s agreements once again. Fourthly, this process must be begun, by preparing a guide to the shift to a single seat for Parliament, and by calculating all of the costs and assessing the gains and losses that such a decision would entail."@en1
