I did not vote in favour of the Community patent. As a fervent supporter of Europe, I had wanted to be able to vote in favour but I was prevented from doing so by the linguistic discrimination included in this draft text. Respect for cultural and linguistic diversity is now one of the fundamental principles of Community law. In law and in fact, this principle is not respected in this text or in the institutions of the Union in general. This principle presupposes the equality in law of all languages. I have no doubt that we need to make the technical adjustment to this equality, but this adjustment must not contradict the principle. As a Catalan, I cannot accept the fact that my language does not enjoy the same rights as those that are currently the official EU languages."@en1
