"Mr President, for the Catalan Republican Left – the
and for the other parties in our European coalition – for example from the Basque country, Aragon and Andalusia – this is not a good Constitutional Treaty. It does not recognise our wish for internal enlargement. Stateless nations will not have any recognition in this Treaty. We would have accepted the Treaty if only it had included a small step forward – official-language status for the Catalan language.
Today, in Parliament, about 2% of Members may not speak their mother tongue. Of this 2%, the vast majority of us are Catalan speakers. I am the fourth Catalan-speaking Member – after President Borrell, Mr Guardans Cambó and Mr Hammerstein Mintz – to speak here this morning in a language other than our own
We reject this constitutional Treaty because we want to be directly involved in Europe and want a stronger, more united and cohesive Europe, built on its own diversity; just the opposite of a nation-state built on the basis of the French model and against plurilingualism, diversity and plurinationality.
Working nation-states do not make a good basis for the construction of Europe. Europe should be built on the basis of national diversity comprising stateless nations, nation-states and constitutional regions, for the purpose of establishing a new European citizenship."@en1
