Within the European Union there is no other case of a language spoken by so many millions of inhabitants which is not fully present in the majority of mass-market goods. For many products, Catalan is still the exception. The erroneous criteria of associating the importance and therefore the consideration of a language with the fact that it belongs to an independent state affects its status in all areas.
Everywhere in democratic and developed countries, linguistic communities with a volume of consumers similar to that of Catalan are always respected. There are no objective reasons to justify discriminatory treatment of Catalan consumers. Catalan consumers have exactly the same rights as any other European consumers and furthermore, their economic strength is often much higher than that of other linguistic communities that already have all products available in their language, and therefore production in Catalan is fully economically justifiable.
The presence of Catalan within products is one of the precepts included in what is called social responsibility. Labelling in Catalan is as much a part of responsible consumption as respect for the environment, the consumer's right to appropriate product information and the rights of workers involved in production. If a company has a public commitment to act according to a code of ethics by which it takes into account the communities where it operates, or if it is committed to not showing racist or discriminatory attitudes for cultural or social reasons, then it should label in Catalan at least essential information for all its mass-market products distributed in Catalan territory.

yo solo hablo portugues, ingles y castellano........y no tengo porque aprender otro idioma....si los conquistadores nos hubieran ensenado catalan tambien... con mucho gusto lo hablaria
I don't know why all of the comments about Portuguese are getting voted down - the graph in the video is plain wrong, it claims that Portuguese has 9.8 million speakers.
Pero que mania teneis los putos catalanes chupa pollas
de meter a Valencia en vuestra mierda de Idioma
me cago en la puta, soy valenciano y aqui nose habla catalan hijo de puta, por algo en las escuelas la assignatura se llama Valenciano mariconazo
y tu que coño sabes?
El Catalan lo hablan 3 mataos de mierda en cataluña y en las islas esas que poderio? barcelona? esa mierda de ciudad... xDDDD por favor VIVA EL REY Y VIVA ESPAÑA!
the video is stupid. portuguese is among the top 6 spoken languages in the world. the number of catalan speakers look microscopic compared to spanish, portuguese, and other western european languages.
I speak fluently 4 languages. and I love languages.
I made a mistake in my sentence I'll rephrase it: "Europe should have a common language".
But in Europe we should all be at least bilingual, and have a common language. That language should be english, it makes more sense and would unite us more.
Languages have been use as argument for conflict in Spain. And that is STUPID!!

Somos muchos millones de hablantes, más que el noruego, por ejemplo. Y el catalán se habla tanto como el griego.
Así que no menosprecies nuestro gran poderío ;)

Si et parlo en català m'entendràs perfectament, perque el català és exactament el mateix que el valencià.
Y el catalán, repito lo hablan 9 millones de personas.
Y Barcelona es en todos los aspectos, es mejor que Valencia.
