lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, we insist that the fundamental equality of all languages be retained. This is one of our priorities. Needless to say, we endorse a Community patent. It is a service to the community of European citizens, and in my view, all European citizens should be able to address the Union’s bodies in their own language, including in patent applications, and they should also be able to receive a reply in their own language. Discrimination on linguistic grounds would contravene Community law and the Charter of the Fundamental Rights. Consequently, we cannot sanction the selection of five languages as an honourable compromise. We would request Parliament, the Council and the Commission to endorse our amendments which allow everyone who submits a patent application to do so in their own language and to receive a reply in their own language, with translations into the other official languages of the Community. Consequently, we believe that the discussion in the three working languages within the Bureau does not contravene these principles, because it would also have a cost-saving effect and avoids all procedures being conducted in English."@en1
