Court of Justice of the European Communities

While the Advocate-General Finds Eurojust’s Language Rules for Job Applicants Partly Contrary to Union Law, the Court Dismisses Case for Lack of Standing. Decision of 15 March 2005 in Case C-160/03, Kingdom of Spain v. Eurojust

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  20 March 2006

Abstract

As a result of the 2004 enlargement there are now twenty languages that are accorded official, and theoretically equal, status in the institutions of the European Union. With the expansion of the Union’s linguistic landscape some Union bodies, while allowing the use of more and more languages, have paradoxically limited the circumstances under which most of them may be used. To put it mildly, these efforts, as Advocate-General Poiares Maduro said in his opinion in Case C-160/03, Kingdom of Spain v. Eurojust, 2005 ECR I-2077, have been ‘a matter of some controversy’.
