lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am also one of those who have an enormously positive view of the building. I believe that we have a historic building and that we must be the first to respect it and to project a positive image of it. And to the symbolic nature of our building, we should add its functionality. We should recognise, Mr President, that this building has a significant structural defect. In comparison with the building in Brussels the Members have much smaller offices, not in view of their smaller area in terms of square metres, but in view of the fact that Members have to share all their activities with an assistant. Anybody who appreciates the political activity of a Member, and the confidential nature of many of their conversations and activities, will understand that this is possibly the most serious structural defect and, as the President has pointed out, there is possibly no solution to it. Anyway, I think that we should continue to work towards trying to find a way for there to be a degree of independence between the Member and the assistant, given that our work requires this independence, with regard to conversations, the issues to be dealt with and also in other areas which are beside the point. And finally, Mr President, I would like to make another observation – and I understand that this is not an easy issue to resolve – with regard to any possible improvements to the access to this building from the city. There have been times – such as this week’s part-session, which has coincided with the fair – when there has been considerable disruption as far as access to the Parliament is concerned. This will happen again and I believe that analysing possible improvements to this access – at least during parliamentary weeks – would be a positive step."@en1
