	I wouldn't have guessed Vienna for OPEC if I had a Gazeteer in front of me.

	Geneva!!! Ugh, I could not remember it to save my life. Fun quiz.

	The European Parliament is located in Brussels and Strasbourg. So perhaps you could accept Brussels as a correct answer as well.

	Strasbourg is the official seat of Parliament - Brussels and Luxembourg are for satellite meetings and administrative decisions, respectively. I'll reword the question, but there's already an answer for Brussels and I don't want to double up.

	I got Vienna only because it's an important European capital and I thought that some organization would have its headquarters there. But the last I expected was the OPEC (for this one, I tried Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Doha, even Kuwait City... everything except Caracas, which I knew wasn't).

	Vienna surprised me when I was putting this one together, too. I still can't find a decent explanation as to why - anyone know?

	I typed in vienna and it vanished but I didn't check where it went and kept trying Arab cities for OPEC. Why the heck is it there?

	Maybe accept Den Haag as well?

	I knew that at least one Swiss city would be on here. Right away, I typed in Geneva and Zurich.

	Addis Abeba is no longer spelled the way you have it. // World Bank/IMF might be a better option for Washington.

	The official seat of the European Parliament may be in Strasbourg, but all decisions are made in Brussels. They only go to Strasbourg twice a year for unimportant stuff. The EU wants to get rid of the Strasbourg seat, but Sarkozy desperately wants to keep it...

	daHOOK - the AU still seems to list the spelling as Addis Ababa, though it seems Ethiopia has started Anglicizing it differently. I'll add Addis Abeba as an option, though for now I'll leave the official answer as is. bart122333 - I'm going to leave that as is, considering that Strasbourg is the official seat, which is what the question asks for, and Brussels and Luxembourg both pop up as a bonus for the EU Parliament.

	Given that there are multiple 'capitals' of the European Union, you should include them as separate clues and answers. I wouldn't worry about 'doubling up'. If there are multiple supranational organizations based in one city, so be it. I think it would be more important to be accurate and comprehensive. After all, as bart122333 suggests, the European Commission in Brussels is far more powerful than the European Parliament. Even the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg has more real influence on people's lives than the European Parliament.

	For all those asking about OPEC: they needed to host it somewhere "neutral" - i.e. not in one of the member countries. It was originally based in Geneva, but in 1965 Bruno Kriesky, who was then Austria's foreign minister, invited OPEC to move to Vienna.
