lpv:translated text	"Question No 35 by Nelly Maes (): From an official position paper of the Foreign Ministry of the Slovak Republic, sent to us by the Slovak ambassador in Brussels, we understand that the law of 1999 on the use of minority languages in Slovakia gives minorities certain rights. When 20% or more of the inhabitants of a village speak another language, they can receive official communications in their own language. We have personal experience of how this law operates in practice. In villages where more than 20% of the population is made up Slovaks, the inhabitants can receive all official communications in Slovakian. The law thus appears to work satisfactorily. However, when it transpires that in the same village 75% of the population is Hungarian and they can obtain official documents concerning births, marriages and deaths only in Slovakian and the mayor of the village may not speak Hungarian during public or official functions, then we must have serious doubts about the implementation of a language law which appears satisfactory on paper. In connection with Slovakia's accession to the EU, is the Commission investigating whether the law is being implemented, how this is being done and what progress is being made?"@en1
