Travelling circus to Strasbourg - point of order

May 25, 2005 12:00 AM
By Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP in European Parliament

Sarah Ludford (ALDE). - "Mr President, this is not specifically about our agenda for this mini-session but a matter that affects our work generally and therefore the June I part-session.

Many of us suffered disruption to our flights out of Strasbourg on the Thursday of the May I part-session. Could I ask you what steps you have taken to discuss this with the French Government and the authorities at Strasbourg airport to try to ensure that we have smooth and uninterrupted travel to and from Strasbourg?

Many of us go to Strasbourg under protest in the first place, and the fact that it cannot even be ensured that we can get there and back properly is a matter of grave concern. So, could you please tell us what steps you have taken to ensure that we have trouble-free travel next time?"
