"Mr President, the European citizens lack a common language. The Union’s institutions therefore have services to make communication possible.
In Spain, the existence of Castilian as a common language and its recognition as the State’s official language does not prevent the recognition of the citizens’ right to use other Spanish languages which have official status: Galician, Catalan and Basque. All of them are European languages as well, they belong to the European area – or hyper-area – of communication, and have a European vocation.
The Spanish Government has proposed a formula for the administrative agreement to promote, without any cost to the Community institutions nor to the other Member States, the reasonable use of these languages at Union level. This proposal conforms to the linguistic legislation in force and has been accepted by the Council and the Committee of the Regions.
Mr President, I do not know of any reason why there has not been any progress on their acceptance, since the conditions for the cooperation requested have been met, Parliament’s role as the house of the citizens will be enhanced, institutional coherence will be provided and democratic value will be created. Our institution cannot be left behind everybody else in this field."@en1
