DKK 3.4 billion alone is being spent on renovating the European Parliament's own buildings in Brussels.

Omissions

• The DKK 3.4 billion figure corresponds to the renovation of ONE building — the Paul-Henri SPAAK building — not to 'Parliament's own buildings' in the plural; the sources found do not support a DKK 3.4 billion aggregate for all EP buildings in Brussels.
• The €455 million is an estimate expressed in April 2023 prices, spread over 2024-2031, not a lump sum being disbursed at the time of the speech.
• The DKK figure is a conversion at the fixed DKK/EUR peg (~7.46); official EU sources publish the cost in euros only, so the kroner amount is the speaker's own conversion (which is arithmetically correct).
• No source found quantifies total EP spending on renovating all its Brussels buildings, so the word 'alone' (implying larger further sums) cannot be verified or refuted.
