euronews the network – European Parliament – time to end the costly travelling circus?
http://www.euronews.com/ It is a symbol of post-war reconciliation. The European Parliament is built along the border of Europe’s once bitterest of enemies from wars that killed millions.
It is part of the reconciliation between France and Germany to share power as an engine behind the European Union, with Germany having the seat of the European Central bank.
However, it is also very costly, estimated at over 200 million euros a year to maintain the complex of buildings and to transport more than 700 MEPs, thousands of staff and tonnes of materials 400 kilometres from Brussels – it is known as the travelling circus.
In times of tight budgets, calls are rising to shut down the Strasbourg parliament.
The French government insists the two seat concept is enshrined in treaties sharing institutions across the EU. Some fear revamping those treaties would re-open a political Pandora’s box, sparking conflict over who gets what institution.
Others say shutting Strasbourg would be a strong symbolic gesture of solidarity with those hurting from budget cuts and would fight the image many Europeans have of a wasteful EU.
Wired into this edition of The Network is Rainer Wieland, Vice President of the European Parliament and a member of the EPP group, he supports the parliament being in Strasbourg.
Also on the programme, Edward McMillan-Scott who is Vice President of the European Parliament and a member of the ALDE group as well as co-chair of the ‘Single Seat’ campaign.
Jonathan Isaby is The Network’s final guest. He is Political Director of the Tax Payers’ Alliance, which wants the parliament to be based only in Brussels.

http://www.euronews.net/ Rivals for the Republican nomination to run for US President next year took a tough line in a televised debate on foreign policy.
Front-runner Mitt Romney saved some of his strongest rhetoric for Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“One thing you can know, and that is if we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon, and if we elect Mitt Romney, if you elect me as the next president, they will not have a nuclear weapon,” he declared.

Cheering crowds jostled for position in sweltering heat to get their first peek at King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, who appeared on a balcony at the Royal Palace of Brussels.
The couple’s four children, Elisabeth, Gabriel, Emmanuel and Eléonore, joined them to mark the historic occasion.
One local in the throng of well-wishers told euronews: “I am just happy to be Belgian and I hope I can remain Belgian for as long as possible. I hope the same for my children.”
Another royal supporter said she offered Philippe a “welcome” and “support”.
Although polls suggest that the new king has only a fraction of the popularity that his father Albert II enjoys, Philippe’s swearing-in brought crowds out in droves.
