Paragraph 36 a (new)
36a. Recalls the its resolution of 20 November 2013 on the location of the seats of the European Union’s Institutions1, which estimated the costs of the geographic dispersion of the Parliament to be between EUR 156 million and EUR 204 million and equivalent to 10% of the Parliament's budget; emphasises that the report also estimates the environmental impact of the geographic dispersion to be between 11,000 to 19,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions; reiterates the negative public perception caused by this dispersion; calls therefore for a roadmap to a single seat; __________________ 1 Texts adopted, P7_TA(2013)0498.
