lpv:translated text	". Parliament is right in reiterating today that multilingualism reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity within the Union, which must be retained. It is also right to state that citizens are entitled to communicate with the European institutions in all the official languages of the Union. It also underlines that those elected are entitled to speak in their own language during all official EP meetings. After all, linguistic expertise could never be an additional election criterion. I would take this opportunity to pay tribute to the many hundreds of interpreters who, day in and day out, do an excellent and high-quality job. The fact that all of this costs money is a normal price to pay for European democracy to function properly. I support the proposals, where possible, to cut down on costs by discouraging very late cancellations and applications. Moreover, the fact that the average interpreting cost in the EP is higher than that in the Council or the Commission is also attributable to our forced monthly move to Strasbourg, where local resources are limited, so that Parliament’s interpreting costs in Strasbourg rise by 13%. We could therefore save money by calling a halt to this absurd monthly relocation."@en1
