lpv:translated text	". We voted against because multilingualism is not considered in all of its practical applications. Steps are being taken that may lead to the creation of a directory to select the languages used. It is appalling that the proposals to broaden the range of languages, including those of immigrants, were rejected. To quote the Commission: ‘the EU institutions should try to strike a balance between the costs and benefits of being multilingual’. This sentence follows a series of repeated examples of discrimination relating to the use, translation and interpretation of the official languages of the EU, and to the dismissal of dozens of teachers who worked in the Commission’s services. This serves to increase our concerns as regards the need to promote multilingualism as a cultural value of the EU. We therefore advocate an interinstitutional agreement relating to a written legal framework for the EU’s language arrangements. An agreement of this nature should respect the diversity of cultures and languages, given that language is the most direct expression of culture. It should also guarantee equal treatment of all official languages, thereby putting an end to the proposed distinction between ‘official languages’ and ‘working languages’, which has served to discriminate against certain languages like Portuguese."@en1
