Claude Moraes (S&D), in writing. − I voted in favour of all the amendments in this report, which called for transparent use of the MEPs’ General Expenditure Allowance. I want to see the rest of the European Parliament follow the lead of myself and my British Labour colleagues in having their General Expenditure Allowance independently verified by an auditor. I supported the amendment calling on the Member States to revise the issue of the Parliament’s second seat. The trip to Strasbourg wastes millions of euros every year. Especially now, when national governments are tightening their belts, having only one seat for the European Parliament would bring significant savings and set a better example on environmental issues.
