lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too voted for the Stenmarck report, which – as a number of other Members have already pointed out – reveals the costs of an absurd situation. I feel that it is impossible to explain to any European citizen now – not 20 or 40 or 50 years ago – why we still have two seats. This is an irrational, idiotic situation, not just from the financial point of view but also in terms of the practical organisation of Parliament’s work. I believe that Parliament must issue a clear signal, and one way to do this, as Mr Dupuis pointed out, is by starting to increase the size of the Brussels part-sessions, calling for a situation that no longer has any sense to be eliminated and for the European Parliament to make sense outside this House too, in other words to be a Parliament with a single seat."@en1
