lpv:translated text	"Mr President, my report is in line with all the previous documents on multilingualism, whether they came from this House, the Council or the Commission. This House cannot be an instrument of extremist nationalism nor of regional or local hatred or aversion. It is our responsibility as MEPs that is at stake. I therefore urge you to vote against the alternative and in favour of the report that I have authored. The alternative tabled is an attempt to bring into the European Parliament certain nationalist disputes that are ongoing in Spain. Just yesterday the Spanish newspaper reported that the Spanish Supreme Court decided three months ago that a box should be included on pre-enrolment forms asking parents in which language they want their children to receive their education, and also that the Catalan authorities are not complying with this decision. The signatories of the alternative do not want this right to be recognised for parents in countries with more than one official or regional language. They do not want to recognise the vital need for education in the mother tongue, not only for educational success in general but also in particular for the learning of other languages. They do not want to ensure full mutual intelligibility between the languages spoken in a country in this situation, especially in relation to senior citizens and to the legal system, health, administration and employment. They do not accept that, in these countries, one language should not be promoted at the expense of the rights of speakers of another language or other languages. This contradicts everything that this Parliament and the other European institutions have upheld. As a result, paragraphs 11, 12, 14 and 17 of my report are omitted from the alternative. Looking at these paragraphs, such negative positions clearly clash with our fundamental rights and freedoms and patently infringe the principle of subsidiarity. My report does not attack or harm so-called minority languages. It respects these and recognises their value, but it also tries to lay down general and basic principles."@en1
