"Mr President, I wish to raise one very important issue. I would ask the Members of Parliament to support Amendment 1, which calls for extending the mandate of the Intergovernmental Conference to include transferring the European Parliament’s seat from Strasbourg to Brussels. My group backs this decision.
This is a small but very important matter. One seat would strengthen the EU’s legitimacy. A year ago more than a million people signed a petition in favour of one seat, and the IGC is the place where this should be discussed and decided. Parliament will decide today whether it wants to debate the issue of having one seat or continuing as before. If we are in favour of having one seat we will vote for Amendment 1."@en1
