lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I regret that, despite having offered a written translation, I have not been authorised to speak in Euskera – the language of an ancestral people, the Basques, which has survived the passing of time with a small population and which, in the opinion of eminent foreign researchers, is the language of the first residents of Europe. By speaking in my language, I would have liked to have stressed the reality of this European Union which we are building amongst all of us on the basis of respect for our own cultural diversity. I believe we are all concerned, not just the green ecologists, when the biodiversity of nature is threatened by man's actions. However, we often forget human biodiversity, one of the main manifestations of which are the different languages and cultures which are sometimes not respected or protected, but rather there is simply an attempt to eliminate them, for the sake of the commercial convenience of uniformity and globalising tendencies. Since I believe that the individual, the person, is above commercial and economic interests, I would advocate constant support for national, regional and minority languages, independently of changes in political power, as well as decisive support for multilingualism so that we can build our Union without it becoming a confused tower of Babel. I would finally like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Ebner, on his wonderful report."@en1
