lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to raise an issue of linguistic discrimination within Parliament: the interface of MEPs’ computers functions only in English. It is only possible to navigate our operating systems and access files using our computers if we have a command of the English language. This seems to me to be totally discriminatory as regards those MEPs who, although they do not know English, would like to manage their work directly on their own computers. This is a problem of linguistic authorisation which our friends in the Esperanto movement are trying to tackle at the United Nations, and I am not too sure what the francophony movement is dealing with if it is not also dealing with this issue. I hope, Mr President, that this problem can be remedied, and that a remedy can also be found for the technological discrimination I encountered when I tabled a written question on 2 June in an open format – the ODF format – different from the Microsoft format which is currently in use. The reply I received from the department responsible was that it was not possible to table questions in an open format. I hope that these forms of linguistic and technological discrimination may be promptly overcome."@en1
