"I wish to comment on various aspects of the budget. On buildings policy, the only reason why Parliament can still afford the luxury of two sites is simply because the general public is largely unaware of this state of affairs. Just imagine if the French Parliament decided to meet once a month in Marseilles, with travel and accommodation costs of course being borne by the taxpayer. This would create a massive scandal and it would not take long for this travelling circus to be grounded. Most citizens are also completely unaware of the existence of Europarl TV. While it is a good idea in principle and is intended to promote transparency, it lacks adequate resources for marketing and is simply a waste of money. I also welcome the Council’s proposals to cut the funding for the agencies. However, I would not apply cuts to the Return Fund, whose funding should be increased; the same applies to Frontex. Finally, I am opposed to any cuts for Erasmus. Studying abroad should continue to be affordable for every student!"@en1
