"The chief virtue of the Ferber report is that it ends an argument that has gone on for only too long. That is why I am voting in favour of discharge.
I am not happy about a number of things it says, however. While it is settled that the City of Strasbourg has not committed any legal irregularity, the charge of discourtesy is too convenient an excuse for some Members who simply want to take advantage of the occasion to raise the question of the seat again.
Having followed the matter of the buildings in every detail, it is clear to me that it has been dominated by bad faith. When the European Parliament, whose Members were inadequately informed about a complex legal arrangement, says it was not in the picture about the subletting of the buildings, that is quite simply untrue. It was never the City of Strasbourg’s intention to ‘fleece’ this Assembly.
Finally, the proposed purchase of the three buildings is good news for the European taxpayer.
I am sad to note that the Members’ pension fund has been the subject of unjustified attacks on the principle of ‘slander as much as you like, there will always be something left’."@en1
