After the accession of ten new member states in 2004, the number of EU official languages increased from 11 to 20. In 2005, the Council of the European Union decided an improvement of the existing legal framework for Irish and for other languages, such as Basque, Catalan and Galician, which are official in all or part of their territory. On 1 January 2007 Bulgaria and Rumania joined the EU, increasing the number of EU official languages again. This book aspires to contribute to the understanding of the challenge of respecting linguistic diversity within the EU. It is intended as an introduction to the issue for those not already familiar with EU law and, at the same time, to provide an analysis of the potential of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union to enhance respect for linguistic diversity. Each chapter has been written by a recognised expert in the field. The appendices purport to give access to the most basic legal norms concerning linguistic diversity within the EU institutions.
