The EU’s General Affairs Council on Tuesday is set to decide whether to green-light Spain’s proposal to make Catalan, Galician and Basque official EU languages.In an unusually united stance, the national government in Madrid and the Catalan regional government in Barcelona are pushing the bid jointly.

Moreover, all EU laws, proposals and decisions — past, present and future — must be translated into the languages given official recognition. However, winning recognition requires unanimous backing of all 27 m...
