"The European Parliament takes the scrutiny of its own budget implementation very seriously. It is especially important to ensure the effectiveness of European Parliament spending at a time when national budgets are being reduced throughout the EU. By voting in favour of this report, MEPs granted discharge to Parliament’s expenditure for 2011. This report focuses on all areas of expenditure and includes a number of important issues for British Labour MEPs. I voted in favour of all amendments in this report that called for transparent use of the MEPs’ General Expenditure Allowance; my British Labour colleagues and I want to see the rest of the European Parliament follow our lead in having their General Expenditure Allowance independently verified by an auditor. I am pleased that the amendment calling for the Member States to revise the issue of the European Parliament’s seats was adopted by Plenary. Having only one seat for the European Parliament would bring significant savings and set a better example on environmental issues."@en1
