"Mr President, this report calls for budgetary consolidation. Consolidation based on cutting unproductive expenditure rather than on increasing revenue.
I believe the EU should follow its own advice and lead by its own example, not only with the total of the European budget but, for example, with the circus that is Strasbourg. It is totally unproductive and the Court ruling recently is ignoring the will of this House and of EU citizens across the whole of the EU.
We really need to concentrate on cutbacks, on saving costs. This place costs over EUR 200 million to keep coming here. It costs 20 000 CO
tonnes and it is basically leading us to look like a joke and very indecisive at a point in time when we need to be showing real solidarity with the people suffering across the whole of the EU through this crisis. The EU needs to learn its lesson. It needs to consolidate. It needs to stop wasting EU citizens’ money."@en1
