"Mr Ferber’s report on the 2004 discharge of the European Parliament is fundamentally dishonest. Taking advantage of the new anti-Strasbourg offensive launched by the Anglo-Saxon lobby, Mr Ferber is going beyond his role of rapporteur in order slyly to set himself up as Strasbourg's critic. No, the European Parliament cannot decide on the location in which it will be based. That is a unanimous decision taken by the Heads of State or Government, which has been enshrined in the European Treaties since the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999. No, neither Strasbourg nor France are prepared to agree to give up what they have for some uncertain alternative, that is, to agree to the European Parliament’s being transferred to Brussels in exchange for a European Institute of Technology. Why not have a European centre of gerontology? Just as some people want to make France and the Netherlands vote again on the defunct European Constitution, others indulge in wishful thinking and want to do away with the European Parliament’s base in Strasbourg in flagrant breach of the Treaties. We will resolutely oppose that, not only on behalf of France, but also on behalf of the general interest of Europe."@en1
