lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, you will be aware that a million European citizens have signed a petition calling for this Parliament to have one seat. This was a major expression of the will of the people, not only because this Parliament could save the taxpayers about EUR 200 million a year, but also because we as responsible parliamentarians could be seen to be taking action to cut our carbon emissions. As Members of this Parliament, I believe we have a duty to listen to and respond to the wishes of the people. However, this is an issue that can be addressed only by the Intergovernmental Conference. I therefore urge the presidency and the Bureau of this Parliament to take action on this matter and to raise the subject in advance of the forthcoming Intergovernmental Conference. Surely the time has come for this Parliament to listen to and respond to the concerns and the demands of one million European citizens and to debate this issue properly."@en1
