Roof must fall in permanently on Strasbourg
August 21, 2008 12:35 PM
Reacting to the news that the European Parliament is unable to hold its first post recess session in Strasbourg because part of the ceiling of the chamber has fallen in, London Liberal Democrat MEP Sarah Ludford said:
"The building has the right idea in saving MEPs from the outrageously expensive travelling circus. The roof falling in on Strasbourg should be made a permanent feature of the European Parliament, in favour of a settled Brussels venue."
"The delicious irony is that the French government, the builder of the grandiose Strasbourg edifice, once took MEPs to the European Court for breach of EU law in failing to meet 12 times a year in Strasbourg. By way of apology they should now save taxpayers' money by lifting their absurd veto on Brussels."
