lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this House has now voted several times for an end to the two-seat Parliament and called for us to limit the Strasbourg visits in order to save valuable taxpayers’ money and make our work far more efficient. In eliminating just one trip to Strasbourg in 2012 we succeeded in completing our parliamentary business without any disruption. In fact we carried out the two sessions in one week very effectively. If we are to interpret the Court of Justice opinion on our visits to Strasbourg as requiring 12 monthly visits of the same length, then presumably this year we will be forced to visit in August. This interpretation is absurd, as are the Strasbourg sessions themselves, and it is time that the Council and Commission now take up our mandate to allow the European Parliament a single seat. Preventing the democratically elected House from choosing where and when to conduct its business is not acceptable."@en1
