lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am also in favour of a single seat for the European Parliament, namely Strasbourg. So why is it that I did not vote in favour of Amendment 2? It is because it is factually incorrect. That is because we have only had one seat for many years. The Treaty states: the seat of the European Parliament is in Strasbourg. We could implement all the savings ourselves without having to consult with the Council. We could abolish the mini-part-sessions in Brussels, leading to substantial savings. We could move our administration from Brussels to here, leading to more substantial savings. We could sell our expensive buildings in Brussels and invest much more economically here, leading to yet more substantial savings. The fact is, however, that no one who supported Amendment 2 wants to do that. This shows that the issue at stake here is not cost cutting. What we have here is demagoguery against Strasbourg. Strasbourg is the political capital of a political and cultural Europe, not a metropolis for bureaucrats."@en1
