Commission has 61 buildings in Brussels
The commission's current buildings policy is to restrain the number of locations under the principle of "fewer and bigger," Ms Rampi said.
Currently, the EU executive occupies 61 buildings in Brussels, or a total of 865,000 square metres. Some of the buildings are owned by the commission, while others are rented. The commission spent €207.49 million on buildings in 2007.
According to the commission's building policy, which dates back to 2007, the accession of 10 new member states in 2004 and of Romania and Bulgaria in 2007 meant that a total of 3,350 additional officials required home and office accommodation in Brussels, as well as nursery and childcare facilities.
The additional office requirements between 2007 and 2010 were estimated to be 35,000 square metres.
