"I would like to congratulate my colleague, Mr Ferber, on his report, although I did not agree with everything and voted – against his recommendation – for Amendment No 2 and against Amendment No 8 of his draft resolution. I have done so with great conviction because I am of the view that we as the European Parliament do not send out a political signal or pre-empt a political decision by adopting the Secretary-General’s proposal (and filling 35 vacancies in the language sector) but accomplish this by doing the exact opposite.
As long as the House rules on language use are not amended, the candidate countries and ourselves can assume that the language arrangement will stay as it is, that is to say: first of all, that each MEP can use his own language at official meetings.
Secondly, that each MEP has documents in his language at his disposal.
Thirdly, that we in this way are not only treating the Members equally but above all, the citizens we represent."@en1
