lpv:translated text	". As is our policy, the Union for Europe of the Nations Group will again oppose any attempts to reduce the duration and/or the number of plenary sessions held in Strasbourg. In recent years, as the number of different lobbies has grown, there have been moves to transfer Parliament from Strasbourg to Brussels permanently. Most importantly, we have seen plenary sessions reduced to four days and an increase in the number of extraordinary sessions held in Brussels. The treaties state that 12 sessions per year are to be held in Strasbourg. The UEN group intends to ensure that the letter and the spirit of the treaties are respected. In election years of course one plenary session held in Strasbourg is normally cancelled. At the same time however, it is unbelievable that the number of extraordinary sessions remains unchanged. This is a completely abnormal situation. I therefore proposed that the two additional sessions on the 2004 calendar be cancelled in order to restore the twelfth session held in Strasbourg, in accordance with the relevant legal provisions. I am sure you will appreciate that this will require everyone to assume their responsibilities. In our opinion, the situation is clear. Strasbourg should not be relegated to an annex of Brussels. Strasbourg is and must continue to be the seat of the European Parliament."@en1
