In order to be able to address the difficulties that are expected to arise as a consequence of enlargement, in the field of recruiting a sufficient number of interpreters for certain languages, this report proposes a transitional amendment of the Rules of Procedure as regards the multilingual arrangements in force in the European Parliament. The obligation for multilingualism established by the Treaties is confirmed and it is recommended that this obligation could be ‘relaxed’; with the explicit support of the Members concerned and with transitional arrangements for the new Member States while there is a shortage of interpreters.
This is an extremely delicate matter and no transitional law is really required – a different interpretation would suffice. Any derogation to the multilingual approach, even if transitional, represents a risk for the future.
I voted in favour of the amendment tabled by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, which definitively limits the transitional nature of the arrangements and I voted against the report in the final overall vote."@en1
