"For fifty years the Slovene ethnic minority in the Austrian part of Carinthia has waited for the implementation of Article 7 of the Vienna State Treaty, and now that Austria holds the presidency of the European Union, the time has finally come to implement at least some of the rights secured for the Slovene minority in the Constitution, principally that of bilingual topography.
These issues are being resolved at present, but are currently in violation of a number of international minority protection standards. The 10/15 formula does not implement the judgments of the Constitutional Court of Austria. A compromise solution may be to initiate rather than terminate the legal protection of the Slovene minority. This is precisely the objective: to resolve the issue of bilingual topography once and for all. Raising the profile of such a compromise to the level of constitutional law would, in practice, abolish Article 7 of the Vienna State Treaty and prevent its unilateral revision and any breaches of international law."@en1
