"Madam President, first of all, I wish to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Fernandes, for his excellent work. This 2.3% increase is certainly a lot easier to accept and justify than the 5.2% proposed by the Bureau. Parliament needs to be very selfcritical in this budgetary procedure. In the report that is the case, but this work should be continued very intensively.
I think that it is important that savings have also been sought in the small things, and in different areas. Certainly, making savings on cleaning and upkeep, for example, is one solution, but perhaps we also need more ambitious agendas than merely saving on soap. This year Parliament voted to change a double partsession in the autumn to make it a weeklong sitting in Strasbourg. Ending this Parliament’s monthly plenary rally would mean considerable savings, and these would also be reflected in Parliament’s budget."@en1
