I am all for maintaining the status quo. Each committee member is trying to determine which location to visit to derive maximum benefit. Initially, that is what we did also and it was determined that the best locations to visit were London, Strasbourg, because it is the seat of Parliament, Rome and Budapest. Again, I think this is a logical approach. Of course, there are some interesting things to see in Brussels and some parliamentarians to meet, but we had to make some choices. In my opinion, we made the right choices and we should stick with the status quo.
