"In order to effectively support the seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, I voted against paragraph 2, which calls for Parliament’s places of work to be ‘limited to a single seat for Members and officials’. Indeed, according to the Treaty, ‘the European Parliament shall have its seat in Strasbourg, where the 12 periods of monthly plenary sessions, including the budget session, shall be held. The periods of additional plenary sessions shall be held in Brussels. The committees of the European Parliament shall meet in Brussels. The General Secretariat of the European Parliament and its departments shall remain in Luxembourg’. Furthermore, the official figures relating to the annual cost of Parliament’s seat in Strasbourg were published recently and were shown to be well below the estimates that had previously been put forward. The costs came to exactly EUR 51.5 million in 2010. Finally, I am pleased to note that energy consumption for Parliament’s seat in Strasbourg fell by 74% between 2006 and 2010. For these reasons, I can support Parliament’s seat in Strasbourg."@en1
