"Mr President, when we vote on issues in the European Parliament we should always be sure that we take the moral lead.
It is quite right for us to be talking about energy efficiency. Frankly, I have no problem with that at European level, national level or local level. I think more of it can be done at local government level, but it is good to share best practice and ideas at the European and national level.
However, in taking that lead, we have to show moral leadership. How can we talk about the energy efficiency of buildings when we continue to operate out of two Parliament Chambers, one here in Strasbourg and one in Brussels? What about the CO
emissions of the Parliament in Strasbourg, when we are talking about tens of thousands of tons of CO
emissions every year? It is time to stop the hypocrisy, to show leadership and to close down the Strasbourg Parliament."@en1
