"This report contained a number of justifiable criticisms of Parliament’s President, Martin Schulz, using the European Parliament’s facilities and staff for his campaign during the 2014 elections, an individual who has also meddled in domestic affairs, which is in dereliction of his role as President of the European Parliament.
The report also focused on a number of practical matters, one primary one of interest is the road map for a single seat for the European Parliament instead of shifting to and from Strasbourg-Brussels every month. Sinn Féin voted in favour of this point as it would save millions from being pointlessly spent every month.
The report also contains a number of recommendations for improving the rights of assistants. The amendments from our Group, which we supported, also called for full transparency on general expenditure, with access for citizens, and greater provision for transparency in terms of MEP-lobbyist interaction. There was also an roll-call vote on multilingualism and the importance of providing MEPs, in due time, with all the documents necessary to conduct their work properly in committees, delegations and plenary sessions in any EU official language. In the light of Sinn Féin’s position on ending the derogation and promoting the Irish language, we supported this.
We voted in favour of the resolution granting discharge and the closure of accounts to the EP for the 2014 financial year."@en1
