The building of the European Parliament, named after Belgian EU visionary and NATO Secretary General Paul-Henri Spaak, which houses the plenary chamber in Brussels, has aged poorly. Despite being occupied only in 1993, it has been in need of demolition for over ten years. The security measures in the building, originally planned as a congress center, are so inadequate that even Martin Schulz (SPD) during his time as President of the Parliament expressed concerns during visits by high-ranking dignitaries.
