"Madam President, multilingualism is vital so that citizens can exercise their right guaranteed by the Treaty of Lisbon allowing them to participate democratically in EU legislation. We deplore that only seven of the 18 consultations currently in progress in 2012 are in all the official EU languages, with the rest appearing in English only. Unfortunately, important areas such as the budget, energy, transport, taxation, the internal market, consumer rights, food safety and fishing are not available in all the official EU languages. We welcome the ‘Your Voice in Europe’ website that has been created, specifically intended for interactive policy making, improving European governance and introducing better regulation. Unfortunately, of the 35 areas on the ‘Your Voice in Europe’ website, four appear in the 23 official EU languages, eight in 22 of the official languages, four in English, French and German only, two in English and French only, one in English and German, and 16 in English only. Commissioner, if the Commission does not have sufficient resources available to provide the documents in all the official EU languages, I think that it is time for you to take on more lawyer-linguists for all the official languages of the European Union."@en1
