"Madam President, I welcome the fact that the report on revenue and expenditure for 2013 authored by a Welsh colleague, Derek Vaughan, suggests a more modest increase – of 1.9% – to the 2013 budget. Nevertheless, I would still maintain that there should be no increase in the budget, particularly due to the increased pressure and stress that national budgets are currently facing.
Within the report there are, however, many positive examples of how Parliament can reduce its expenditure for next year. In particular, I supported the proposal that the European Parliament should have a single seat. This would make substantial savings, as illustrated in a number of publicly available reports, and would further help to avoid the wasteful duplication of office space and the unnecessary journey to Strasbourg every month. It is high time that we demonstrate that we truly understand the necessity of making cost savings, especially when Member States themselves are having to significantly tighten their belts."@en1
