"Mr President, I understand the frustration of my colleagues. It arises from the fact that we are legally obliged to meet in Strasbourg 12 times a year. The only way to change that is by a new unanimous decision of the Heads of Government. We have perhaps an opportunity with the forthcoming IGC to do that. There are a number of written declarations in the register on this subject, which are available for colleagues to sign. They are not contradictory. I suggest that colleagues who feel strongly about this sign all of them. I would draw particular attention to my own one, which envisages compensation for Strasbourg, because we are not going to get Parliament's sittings to Brussels without compensating Strasbourg. I think it should be the Heads of Government and the European Council who should travel to Strasbourg four times a year and have their meetings here."@en1
