European Parliament
President.
I am very pleased to inform you that for the first time in a plenary sitting we have three new interpreting booths in operation. We can therefore have interpretation facilities into three of the new languages for today's debates: Polish, Hungarian and Czech.
This does not alter the fact that full interpreting in all the new languages will only be available from 1 May 2004. So with the limited facilities available, we intend to rotate the languages so that there is equal access for all the new languages.
