EU official status for Catalan, Basque and Galician: There was a short discussion on the language issue today at the EU General Affairs Council but no decision made.

Speaking to the press before the meeting, the representatives for Germany, Finland and Lithuania requested that EU accession not be linked to the three languages having official status.
