Europos parlamento rūmai Strasbūre (Prancūzija)
The penultimate Parliamentary session of the 2004-2009 term took place in Strasbourg from 21-24 April. Read our day by day account of one of the busiest sessions ever held. It took in new caps on roaming charges when phoning from abroad, liberalisation of Europe's gas and electricity market and steps to make it easier for people to seek medical treatment abroad.
Members also debated a series of measures to tackle the economic crisis and discuss the EU's financial accounts for 2007.

Relations between the EU and the former Yugoslav states were also discussed as were new rights for ship and coach passenger and steps to extend copyright protection for artists.
 
A full round up of the session is available here. MEPs reassemble in Strasbourg on Monday 4 May for more debates.
