lpv:translated text	". Mr President, first I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Grech, for his excellent proposal and the agreeable levels of cooperation we were able to achieve during discussion of the report. Mr President, Parliament’s budget has to be dealt with effectively, responsibly and credibly. This is conditional on several factors. Firstly, we have to stop talking about an annual 20% increase or ceiling. We should be talking about and implementing only a budget based on actual needs. We must always consider our accountability to the taxpayer. This will cultivate the credibility expected of Parliament. One important example of this is information policy. We should not embark on ambitious projects, such as our own television channels, but instead we should always ensure that the political groups are actively involved in all of Parliament’s fields of information. We must also plan all the information we give out well beforehand in order to determine the costs of projects and the personnel needs involved. The best example of the provision of information is visitor groups, and now we must really make haste to ensure that the EUR 5 million which was decided on last year is made use of as quickly as possible. I would furthermore like to mention one amendment connected with Parliament’s day nursery. This perhaps does not sound like a very politically important issue, but the issue of how we treat employees with children is very important from the point of view of the status of Parliament as an employer. This is a question of equality more than anything else, and we cannot punish single parents and women who have children and who wish to work in Parliament. For this reason, a nursery should be maintained as close to Parliament and public transport services as possible. The proposal that has just been made to stop using the Eastman Nursery is obviously very alarming, and I hope that agreement can be reached on adopting this amendment."@en1
