lpv:translated text	"Madam President-in-Office of the Council, as we have come to expect of you, you are being extremely polite to the European Parliament. It is very considerate of you to refer to Article 308. We all know that Article 308 concerns a unanimous decision taken by the Council following a recommendation from Parliament. So that is why you are waiting before adopting a clear stance. I can understand that, but despite this, we must all realise that there appears to be only a few Member States, including Portugal, Spain, Greece, Finland and Italy, which are strongly opposed to the exclusive use of French, English and German. All the other Member States, including my own country, unfortunately, agree to the very limited application of this language regime. I would now like to ask you whether it would not be preferable to guarantee that the key elements of such a patent, namely the conclusions, which hardly take up two to three pages, are at least made available in all the languages. That would considerably enhance the legal certainty of the citizens and business people in the European Union. There would then be no need to translate twenty or thirty pages, rather only the conclusions. I believe that we would thus bring Europe a little closer to the citizen."@en1
