". I voted in favour of the report on the guidelines for the 2013 budget. While I support the need to freeze our institution’s budget for 2013, I voted against Amendment 2 attacking the European Parliament’s seat in Strasbourg. Two days earlier, a report was presented making major corrections to the erroneous yet often-reported figures that set the annual cost of the Strasbourg seat at between EUR 169 million and EUR 203 million. The reality is quite different. According to the Parliament’s General Secretariat, the total specific cost for Strasbourg is EUR 51.5 million, that is, EUR 0.10 per inhabitant per year. Similarly, the carbon footprint estimate of 19 000 tonnes of CO is four times higher than the real figure, which is actually 4 199 tonnes. I see that my colleagues will not give up their fight for the Strasbourg seat, and that this issue is actually more about politics than about the budget or the environment. For my part, I believe that if the European Parliament must have a single seat, it should, of course, be Strasbourg."@en1
