"Mr President, Luxembourg, a founding Member State of the European Union, has never claimed the status of official EU language for its mother tongue, Luxemburgish. With the most recent enlargement, the number of official languages has increased. The Council of Ministers has just granted the status of official language to Irish, bringing to 21 the total number of official and working languages. In its conclusions of June 2005, the Council also gave its verdict on languages – I quote – whose status is recognised by the Constitution of a Member State on all or part of its territory or the use of which as a national language is authorised by law. With Luxemburgish having been our national language since 1984, I believe that the Council conclusions apply in this instance. However, Luxemburgish deserves to be given more recognition, because many people are not aware of the fact that we have our own language, in defence of which we suffered fierce repression during the Nazi occupation. I will be asking the European Parliament’s legal service to ascertain how this veiled recognition for the Luxemburgish language could be made public and visible in Community texts."@en1
