lpv:translated text	"Once again, the anti-Strasbourg lobby is on the rampage, trying to shorten and devalue the Strasbourg sessions and, in the end, to abolish them. Anything goes, from the use of the secret ballot to the threat of legionella. I should like to remind the House that it is not the responsibility of an assembly to decide itself where it should sit. It is not up to Members to decide, on whatever grounds, whether of comfort, whim or gastronomic preferences, on the place where they legislate. Just imagine, for a moment, a situation in which the European Parliament decides, because it is more pleasant, to sit in Courmayeur in winter and in Saint-Tropez in summer. An assembly can only submit to what has been fixed by governments, and therefore by the people, by means of basic texts. In the present case, the texts in question have laid down that the European Parliament shall have its seat in Strasbourg, and the Flemish-soup lobby cannot be allowed to make Strasbourg its seat in name only."@en1
