lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to bring what might appear at first sight to be a more prosaic matter to the House’s attention but which relates, I think, to the way in which Parliament conducts its public relations and tells European citizens about how it works. We were told just a few days ago that the Bureau had approved the Quaestors’ proposed decision on planned and approved per capita expenditure by the European Parliament which, contrary to all expectations, has been cut. And as far as I know, for my country and region at least, these are swathing cuts. For example, the week after next I shall be inviting a group of fifty people from Crete and, as far as I can see, the money approved so far will not even cover their tickets. As far as I am concerned, this is not just out of order; there is also a moral dimension to this issue. If the Bureau and the Quaestors wish to reduce planned expenditure, they should not tell us at the eleventh hour because we have already made other plans. I suggest that, if we want a serious decision here, this – to my mind, and I know others agree – unacceptable decision on the part of the Bureau to approve this proposal should be postponed until further notice."@en1
