"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there are many positive aspects in the Stubb report on multilingualism in our institutions. Mr Stubb is absolutely right to emphasise that multilingualism, of which the cost is naturally an important factor, is a political choice to preserve the characteristics of each of our particular identities and to prevent cultural uniformity, which would be the inevitable outcome were one language to dominate. He should apply the same logic to the slightly higher cost of interpreting in Strasbourg, because the choice of Strasbourg is also a political choice, symbolic of German-French reconciliation. I should like to take this opportunity to protest once again against the scandal of which non-attached MEPs are the victims. Non-attached MEPs are not afforded the same interpreting and translation resources as MEPs belonging to a group, which is at variance with the Court of Justice ruling. The Bureau has looked into this matter but, almost two years on, has yet to reach any solution. This discriminatory situation must stop."@en1
