Generally, the languages available on the Committee of the Regions website depend on the following constraints:</p> <ul> <li><strong>(legal) importance</strong> – the public must have access to all official documents, so these are produced in all official languages. Other documents are translated only into the languages needed (for example, communication with national authorities, organisations or individuals); </li> <li><strong>urgency</strong> – to be relevant, some types of information need to be published rapidly. Since translation takes time, we prefer to publish quickly in the languages understood by the largest number of Europeans, rather than to wait for translations into all languages; </li> <li><strong>cost-effectiveness</strong> – to save taxpayers' money, for highly-specialised pages consulted only by a relatively small number of people, the concern is to ensure that most can understand the essence of the information; </li> <li><strong>technical constraints</strong> – managing a site in over 20 languages is highly complex, requiring a lot of human and financial resources; </li> <li><strong>translation</strong> – we only have (access to) limited numbers of translators and a limited budget for translation (all taxpayers' money). </li> </ul> <p>However, on a selected number of pages we offer you the possibility of requesting an automatic machine translation provided by the European Commission's eTranslation service:</p> <ul> <li>A <strong>machine translation</strong> can give you a basic idea of the content in a language you understand. It should nevertheless be borne in mind that it involves no human intervention and that the quality and accuracy of machine translation can vary significantly from one text to another and between different language pairs. </li> </ul> <p>We would welcome your feedback on machine translation! You can submit it <a href="/en/node/552">here</a>.<br> </p> <h2>Moderation policy for social media</h2> <p><strong>We are on social media!</strong> <br>The European Committee of the Regions offers a platform focusing on regions and cities in the EU and has a social media presence that includes Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube.

Our rules also forbid comments that are defamatory, unlawful or that include copyright infringements.
