Added: 44b. Regrets that the total budget allocated for the renovation of the Spaak building has been set at EUR 455 million; considers this decision to have been made in a completely irresponsible manner; emphasises the need to ensure strict cost control, transparency, and adherence to the planned budget; expresses scepticism that the renovation of a single building, which is already fully operational, could cost nearly half a billion euros; demands a reduction in the costs of this project; demands full transparency and monitoring of all expenditures related to this project in order to ensure that those involved are held accountable in the event of any financial irregularities; expresses concern over the lack of a detailed breakdown of costs for the planned renovation of the Spaak building, as decided by the Bureau of the European Parliament; emphasises that such a lack of transparency is particularly problematic for a project of this scale and raises concerns about potential cost overruns, especially in light of those observed in several previous European construction projects, such as the Berlaymont , the Europa building, the Court of Justice, the EMA, and KAD II;
