Currently, the Parliament and the Ombudsman meet in Strasbourg (France) and frequently also in Brussels (Belgium).

Both Councils and the Commision meet in Brussels and ocassionally in Luxembourg (Luxembourg).

Both Courts and the Investment Bank are in Luxembourg, but the Central Bank is in Frankfurt (Germany).

Both Committees and the Defense agency meet exclusively in Brussels.

The Translation center is in Luxembourg.

Europol headquarters are in The Hague (the Netherlands), Frontex’s are in Warsaw (Poland) and the EUSPA’s are in Prague (Czechia).

Other institutions and bodies have offices in all other countries save for Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus

Do you think this is a strenght? Should power be distributed equally among members? Should it be avoided that one member houses all three branches of government? Should seats be moved on an annual or biannual basis, like other institutions do?

    Not a European, but there should not be an issue with diffuse administration as long as there are strong lines of communication. Conflicting decisions being made without notice cause problems.

    I would personally be okay with even more didtribution of buildings, and less concentration in Brussels. For example, I could imagine a future Eurosenate in Århus :)

    That’s what they did here in the US. Take a look at Washington DC and see how that turned out.
