New obstacle in France to the ratification of the Charter of regional languages

"Despite government backing for the French ratification of the ECRML in a new legal text the Conseil d'Etat has decided to advise against ratification, discussed by Le Monde here. Increasingly the whole issue of Charter ratification is becoming a distraction from the real issue of regional language endangerment, the loss of inter generational transmission, and the pressing need for 'regional' language acts to give each language coofficial status in its territory coupled with regional government competence for language regeneration and Breton, Corsican etc, medium education."
