Conclusion: D66 Faction Leader in't Veld declares ' the Cost of living and working in multiple locations ' (as she calls it) in the Netherlands does indeed fall under the general fixed expense budget of the European Parliament.
The issue is a thorn in the Eye of other members of the D66 Group in Europe. This because In't Veld next to the spacious Fee for ' unmade Brussels hotel costs ', also no income tax is paid In the Netherlands. '
