Out of the MEU 2011 participants, 85% want the relais intepreting
to be expanded

The interpreters offered some Mother Tongue sessions this year, where delegates could choose any of the present intepreting languages for their debate contributions. It was positively surprising that the feedback on these sessions was extremely good and thus we held more debates than originally planned in this fashion.
