“It is not mature to vote”: the doubts of several countries about the official of Catalan persist in the UEPEE to the intense Spanish diplomacy, several countries continue to have doubts about the Spanish proposal to make official languages of the EU EU, Galician and Basque. And they are serious enough to stop the proposal to submit the petition on Tuesday, as Spain is looking for. Finland has even declared on his arrival at the Council of General Affairs (CAG) in Brussels, where the Spanish petition must be submitted in principle, which requires unanimity, that it is “not mature to vote” yet. “I hope we do not have to vote today, there are still concerns of the legal services of the Council and it is something that we have to take very seriously,” said Finnish Minister for European Affairs, Joakim Strand. “Linguistic diversity is important and we want to continue arguing it, but I hope we don’t have to vote today because I don’t think the question is already mature to vote,” he insisted. He is not the only one. “I totally understand the Spanish position and I am aware that it is a really important issue for Spain,” said the Swedish Minister of European Affairs, Jessica Rosencrantz. At the same time, however, he recalled that both “Sweden and several other countries have asked questions during this process about legal evaluations, on cost evaluation” that do not seem solved. “There are still some open issues on legal issues and also about the costs of that concern, and we will talk about it later,” the Austrian minister for Europe, Integration and Family, Claudia Plakolm, has corroborated.
