"Mr President, I would like to draw the honourable Members’ attention to the great efforts being made to bring the institutions closer to the citizens. The Commission has just adopted the White Paper; we have a plan D — dialogue — and in this attempt to find new and better ways to communicate with each other, we cannot forget the natural means, which is the language of the European citizens.
In Spain, in addition to Castilian as the common language, the citizens’ right to use other official languages is recognised: Catalan, Basque, Galician; all of which are European languages.
In December 2004, the Spanish Government presented a proposal to the Council to authorise the use of those languages under certain conditions, without adding any cost for the Union's institutions. The Commission, the Council and the Committee on the Regions have already put this proposal into practice. In Parliament we are still waiting. It is a question of making it possible to use these languages in correspondence between the citizens and Parliament, in the publication of legislative provisions and in the speeches of Members of the European Parliament.
Mr President, this request does not imply any cost to the institution. On the contrary, it would increase the wealth of this Parliament."@en1
