lpv:translated text	". It seems essential to me, in the context of our current discussions on the EU budget and the budgetary framework for 2014-2020, that we should take into account the efforts being made by all Europeans to resolve the economic crisis which is affecting us all. It is important to give MEPs, the only members of parliament directly elected in the EU, the right to decide for themselves their working place arrangements. It seems to me even more logical to give them that right when any decision on a single seat would, according to the latest estimates, reduce the operating costs of the EP by EUR 200 million a year. In addition to this saving, doing away with the monthly shuttles between Brussels and Strasbourg would reduce Parliament’s carbon footprint by 20 000 tonnes of CO a year. I am therefore delighted with today’s vote, whereby a large majority of Members are asking Member States to re-examine the issue of the EP’s seat and workplaces at the next revision of the Treaty, by amending Protocol No 6. Once again, today’s vote gives a clear signal that MEPs are willing to play a full part in the budgetary and environmental efforts of EU Member States."@en1
