Press release - DC007(2016)

Regional and minority languages in Spain: Council of Europe issues new evaluation report

Strasbourg, 21.01.2016 - The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe today issued six recommendations to the Spanish authorities on the application of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. It also published a report by a committee of experts assessing Spain´s compliance with the Charter....

Recommendation CM/RecChL(2016)1
on the application of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages by Spain

(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 20 January 2016 at the 1245th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies) 
The Committee of Ministers,
In accordance with Article 16 of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages;
Having regard to the declarations made by Spain on 9 April 2001;
Having taken note of the evaluation made by the Committee of Experts on the Charter with respect to the application of the Charter by Spain;
Bearing in mind that this evaluation is based on information submitted by Spain in its national report, supplementary information provided by the Spanish authorities, information submitted by bodies and associations legally established in Spain and information obtained by the Committee of Experts during its on-the-spot visit;
Having taken note of the comments made by the Spanish authorities on the contents of the Committee of Experts' report;
Recommends that the Spanish authorities take account of all the observations and recommendations of the Committee of Experts and, as a matter of priority:
   1. amend the legal framework with a view to making it clear that the criminal, civil and administrative judicial authorities in the Autonomous Communities can conduct the proceedings in co-official languages at the request of one party;
   2. continue to implement legal and step up practical measures aimed at ensuring that an adequate proportion of the judicial staff posted in the Autonomous Communities concerned by the application of Article 9 of the Charter has a working knowledge of the relevant languages;
   3. continue to implement legal and step up practical measures aimed at ensuring the adequate presence of the co-official languages in the State administration at the level of the Autonomous Communities;
   4. continue to implement measures to ensure the presence of co-official languages in public services, especially in health care services;
   5. continue to ensure that the offer of trilingual education does not adversely affect the protection and promotion of regional or minority languages;
   6. consider extending the recognition of those regional or minority languages with a co-official status in six Autonomous Communities to other Autonomous Communities provided that there is a sufficient number of users of the regional or minority language involved.

Valencian = Catalan (and EILC, Erasmus Intensive Language Courses)

Following my report (05 november, 10:35) about Valencian being treated as a separate language from Catalan by the Spanish authorities, thus allowing those competing to become judges to pass two Catalan exams in Valencia and in Catalonia, and get twice the points, the EU decision to cofund EILC courses in "Catalan" and "Valencian" separately, taken in 2009, is at last being taken to the Spanish Congress by three political parties. Any number of court judgments (over 15!), as well as several Valencian university statutes and the scientific community as a whole, recognise what the Spanish EU presidency website www.eu2010.es also made perfectly clear: It spoke of "the language which is known as catalan in the Autonomous Region of Catalonia and in the Autonomous Region of the Balearic Islands and wich (sic) is known as valencian in the Autonomous Region of Valencia." (though the website search engine locates the quote, the hyperlink to the original page is no longer active, for reasons the Spanish government might be able to explain). The irony is double: firstly, that this distinction was made by the programme committee over a year ago (you can see the way the organizing universities are classified by the two headings here, or the student's application form, for instance; note that seven courses are offered for each "language", whereas the use of the language is much greater in universities in Catalonia, which also has a much higher student population), so the political parties have been very slow to react. And secondly, that every single application for these courses was included in the joint proposal made by the Xarxa Vives network, "a unique platform with value-added and innovative services for universities in the Catalan-speaking territories" founded by these very universities! That the Vives network acted on their behalf is abundantly clear from the official list of funded courses.
