At last, but it could* all be scuttled by the French.

The European Parliament has called for an EU treaty change to stop MEPs' monthly shuttle to Strasbourg in France, and instead make Brussels the parliament's permanent home.

Most MEPs are convinced that the Brussels-Strasbourg shuttle is a huge waste of time and money.

* by could, I actually mean almost definitely will!

I wonder if they'll be brave enough to publish how much money will be saved

If they do it'll be countered by the french saying that Strasbourg will be ruined if they leave.

They'll stay, commuting from one place to t'other.
