Europe Day in Levice, Slovakia

Campaign for the single seat of the EP


We have done the Campaign for a Single Seat for the European Parliament

Did you know that every EU government has agreed to continue spending €180m - and producing 19,000 tonnes of CO2 a year - to keep the European Parliament meeting in two places: Brussels and Strasbourg?

Most MEPs 78% - want a Single Seat, but the final decision is for EU governments… 


We think that it is really waste of money and that is why we organized the campaign to write the letter to our national prime ministers who can change this rule and make only one seat for the European Parliament. Here is the text of the letter we posted to our Prime ministers to show them our opinion:

Dear Prime Minister,

For four days a month, the European Parliament leaves its working base in Brussels, the EU's political capital, and descends on Strasbourg, its official 'Seat'. In addition, half of the parliament's staff work in Luxembourg. This 'travelling circus' costs approximately €180 million each year, and produces 19,000 tonnes of CO2.

For historic reasons, EU governments wrote these arrangements into the EU treaty a generation ago. Under the Lisbon Treaty, Members of the European Parliament have powers to propose treaty change to governments. However, governments have the final word.

In a recent vote, three quarters of MEPs asked EU governments to prepare a Roadmap towards a Single Seat. That is a majority of MEPs in all political groups and from all EU countries, except France and Luxembourg. In a poll, 75% of parliament staff said the same.

The European Parliament now negotiates and legislates jointly with EU governments on almost all EU laws. But for now, unlike national parliaments, it cannot decide when and where it meets. The cross-party, pro-European, pro-democracy Single Seat campaign is pushing for this to change.

With the European elections coming up in May 2014, your intervention is needed to make the European Parliament mode efficient and better able to serve its citizens. Please raise this issue urgently with other EU heads of government, and help to make the European Parliament more credible.

Yours sincerely,

Students involved to the project EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP - EUROPEAN IDENTITY
 

  WE THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA
