lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this is an article about the European Parliament which appeared on one of the most widely read Czech servers and it is no Eurosceptic server, it is a normal information server. The article is entitled ‘The European Parliament pours more money into celebrating itself’ and it appeared two days ago. So if anyone here wants to talk about the budget, it should first of all be the European Parliament which sets an example and shows that it knows how to make savings, when necessary. If we want to be credible, please let us stop our eternal travelling between Brussels and Strasbourg and save EUR 200 million annually, let us abandon the absurd projects, like the monument to ideological propaganda called the House of European History, and save another EUR 50 million. Let us abolish the European Parliament Information Offices in all the Member States’ capital cities, I do not know why they are there. I do not know why we have an Information Office in Washington. Perhaps we think we are a little bit like the American Congress? You can see that, if we take these steps, money will be saved. This is what we are talking about when we say we want . Instead of setting an example, we hear Mr Daul, we hear Mr Verhofstadt, calling for confrontation, looking for conflict and looking for someone to accuse. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the way forward. If Parliament were to block any agreement, it would only make a fool of itself and I think that our reputation with the public is already bad enough, without agreeing to anything like that. Mr Schulz, if you are a responsible President of the European Parliament, you will not go down the road of confrontation, you will go down the road of compromise, try to find agreement and help the European Parliament not to make a fool of itself and set out on the journey proposed by, for example, Mr Daul or Mr Verhofstadt, because that is a journey to nowhere."@en1
