"Once again, this agenda item has been used as a pretext in order to make a nonsense of the protocol on the seat of the European institutions.
The vast majority of Members of the European Parliament who voted for the removal of the Friday sitting are pursuing a strategy whose aims are crystal clear: they wish to move more plenary sittings to Brussels. After the Friday sitting, they will set their sights on Thursday’s sitting. Once we have cut the part-session in Strasbourg to the length of a mini-session, the same voices will call, on grounds of rationalisation, for an end to Strasbourg’s tenure as the seat of the European Parliament.
Because I do not want to be party to this strategy, I did not vote for the relevant amendments. Furthermore, I think that it is quite illogical to remove a half-day sitting, whilst, at the same time, complaining that the European Parliament has an excessive workload. I note that nobody has bothered to add the hours lost on Fridays to the calendar for 2001!"@en1
