16/09/2004 (Agence Europe) - President Borrell, in his Tuesday press conference, emphasised that multilingualism is costly to the European Parliament: around 1/3 of the Parliament budget, that is around 400 million euros or more, or, if you calculate on the basis that the Parliament works 200 days a year, 2 million euros per day. Mr Borrell also admitted that the Parliament is having difficulty finding translators for Maltese.
