"Mr President, this process is very revealing, both in form and content, of the new conditions under which the directory of powers of the European Union is attempting to assert and defend its interests in a wider cross-section of areas. These new conditions are provided by the Treaty of Lisbon and this mechanism of closer cooperation, and I would point out that we gave due warning of their consequences.
In this case, and let us not lose sight of key issues relating to the EU patent concept and its objectives and implications for one second, the objective will be to impose a privileged status for English, French and German on the patent register for no other reason than the one I have just mentioned.
Other languages such as Portuguese, the third most widely spoken European language in the world, will be devalued on the way, thus damaging the interests of these other countries and limiting any chance of affirming their languages also in the fields of science and technology. If these intentions are put into practice, it will be another – not the only – dimension of the attack on multilingualism in the European Union, which insidiously continues making its way through the door of cost containment."@en1
