22/05/2008 (Agence Europe) - At the request of German Green member Daniel Cohn-Bendit, the conference of the presidents of EP political groups examined, on Thursday 22 May, the follow-up to be given to the petition in favour of a single seat for the EP, which has received over one million signatures. Before authorising the petitions committee to prepare a report on this question, the conference of presidents entrusted the president of the European Parliament with the task of writing to all heads of government to ask them whether they are ready to discuss the question of the seat. A similar procedure under the leadership of Josep Borrell had led to the dossier being shelved completely. (O.J.)
