This report forms part of the process of adapting the workings of the EP to the increase in the number of official languages, as of 1 May, with the entry of ten countries from Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean.
Whilst stating that the issue is to provide service of equivalent quality to all its Members by using its existing human and budgetary resources to the best advantage, it actually reduces current rights, even though the rapporteur tries to compensate for this to some extent.
As we have already pointed out, confirming and effectively implementing the principle of establishing all the languages of the EU countries as official and working languages is all the more important because we are now seeing a trend in which some languages – those of the most populous countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy – demonstrate a real and ever-growing preponderance, to the detriment of the languages of the other countries that make up the European Union. This situation must be countered, by means of ongoing action."@en1
