"Mr President, with regard to the Catania report, I voted affirmatively since it eliminates previous flaws concerning minority rights. This matter is particularly important for Hungary and for the minorities living inside as well as outside its borders. The report emphasises the protection of minority languages and declares that the use of one’s mother tongue is one of the most fundamental rights. Unfortunately, this has not been so in several of the new EU Member States in recent times.
The report further stresses the necessity of defining and determining national minority status. I believe this is of vital importance for the 150 minorities in Europe.
Finally, I consider paragraph 49 to be especially important, for it affirms that self-governance is the most effective means of handling the problems of national minority communities. The way to do that is to follow the most exemplary models in the European Union as regards personal, cultural, territorial and regional autonomies."@en1
