"Once again, I voted in favour of this report which points out that real savings could be made if Parliament only had one workplace, in the same city as the European Union’s other institutions (in other words Brussels). The report of the Secretary-General on Parliament’s preliminary draft estimates for 2011 itself draws attention to the huge annual costs arising from the geographical split of Parliament, estimated at some EUR 160 000 000, which accounts for 9% of Parliament’s total budget. It is true that at present the decision to change this situation, and in doing so to make some EUR 160 000 000 of savings per year, whilst at the same time considerably lessening Parliament’s carbon footprint, lies solely with the Council. However through this vote, I call upon Parliament’s President and the Members who are negotiating the Union budget on behalf of Parliament to suggest to the Council that it take steps to ensure that the Union can make these savings."@en1
