"This report deserved an abstention. It is a good thing, of course, that European citizens are able to petition the authorities – including their ‘European authorities’ – but I regret the federalist undertones of this report. One example is the completely irrelevant way it extols the Charter of Fundamental Rights chiselled into the Treaty of Lisbon. Another example is its call for even greater efficiency – read ‘interference’ – towards Member States on the part of the Commission. The way in which this report has been used to argue in favour of one European seat, to be located in Brussels, also disturbs me. Naturally we are all sick of the waste of money caused by the ‘fragmentation’ of the European Parliament, but this one seat could of course just as easily be located in Strasbourg."@en1
