"Madam President, the European institutions’ almost daily attacks on the principle of multilingualism are unacceptable. There are countless examples, starting with the conditions under which the work of Parliament itself is conducted and including the information and opportunities to participate made available to the citizens of the different Member States in particular processes.
The situation has deteriorated considerably following cuts to the translation budget and we are troubled to hear both the Commissioner’s words today and the proposals under discussion for more drastic cuts in the future. This is even more serious when, as the citizens’ right to participate is being restricted by the attack on multilingualism, the Member States’ sovereignty is being trampled as power is being drained from the representative structures closest to citizens and the EU’s areas of competence and intervention are being expanded. Undeniably, democracy itself is at risk."@en1
