EU Language Law with Professor Stefaan van der Jeught "Stefaan van der Jeught, Professor of EU Constitutional Law at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and a Press Officer at the Court of Justice of the European Union, joins SlatorPod to talk about the complex relationship between language and law in the EU. Stefaan outlines the historical evolution of EU language policy, from French-only founding treaties to the gradual inclusion of all member state languages. Despite formal equality, institutions largely define their own internal language regimes, leading to fragmented and often English-centric practices. Stefaan’s book EU Language Law, now in its second edition, examines these issues in depth. Updated with new case law, legislation, and developments in AI and governance, it includes a 10-point roadmap for reform. Stefaan advocates for greater transparency, legal protection of linguistic diversity, and a constitutional debate on the role of language in EU integration.

On May 27, 2025, the EU postponed any decision on the matter for a second time. The first time the proposal was rejected was in September 2023, a little over a month after the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, requested for the Council of the European Union to include the languages. At the time, Spain presided over the EU government, which communicated that it had discussed the matter but needed more information, and deferred making a decision on whether to bring it to a vote.
