"Yes, Madam President, Commissioner, this question has obviously come up repeatedly since we have been in this magnificent Chamber, and I believe we would all like to have a single place of work, that is true. We all want to cut costs, we all want to cut waste, we all want to cut pollution, but I think the question today is the location of the seat of the European Parliament. Today it is in Strasbourg, and I think France and the citizens of Strasbourg are happy to welcome it and are doing all they can to make us feel at home.
For my part, I would like to know whether a study has been carried out to find out whether there really is a difference, because any journey to Brussels or Strasbourg represents a cost, which is the same for everyone. Whether Members travel to Strasbourg or to Brussels, I do not therefore believe it is really worth making a fuss about this seat every time. It is really a political question for our political authorities."@en1
