"The UEN Group and the French delegation of the RPF are opposed to any manoeuvre which would reduce the length of plenary sessions at Strasbourg. In order to correct the annoying precedent of last year, when Mrs Fontaine was President, namely the omission of Friday from the timetable of plenary sessions, I requested, on behalf of my group, the reinstatement of the five-day week at Strasbourg. We know perfectly well that a plenary session reduced to four days does not allow us to work properly. However, in addition to this purely technical aspect, which is in itself not a negligible one, I refuse, for serious political reasons, to see a day (whether Monday or Friday) chopped off the Strasbourg sessions, while at the same time the number and length of extraordinary sessions in Brussels are being improperly increased. In actual fact these practices are covering up an obvious desire to transfer Parliament’s headquarters definitively from Strasbourg to Brussels, in spite of what is laid down in the Treaties. Strasbourg must not be downgraded to become a mere annex to Brussels. Strasbourg is and must remain the seat of the European Parliament."@en1
