Every month, the whole parliament is moving fron Straßbourg to Bruessel and then back. That is not a sign of an efficient organisation, despite the fact that the numbers could be worse. "To put it another way, there are 500 national government employees for each one EU worker." And they simply don't have the same scope at all, so any direct comparison doesn not make much sense. The actual work is done at the national level. They work on coordination, which is important, but very vague.
