Response to ignorance of European Commissioner Jan Figel
There follows the Esperanto version of the letter by the President of the Universal Esperanto Association in reply to the European Commission’s statement that culture is by definition absent from ‘artificial lan- guages’. Every speaker of Esperanto knows, on the other hand, that Esperanto was born of art, and particu- larly of poetry by L.L. Zamenhof. Original Esperanto poetry has since developed to rival the quality of poetry in any language – and that is without mentioning the quantity of original, quality prose, which Commissioner Figel would probably not have time to read in his lifetime. Is it not sad that we are ruled by people who are unable to ascertain even the most basic facts, but instead parrot old clichés? Like Galileo’s persecutors, they cannot bring themselves to look through the telescope and observe the reality that contra- dicts their prejudices. Protests to: Mr Jan Figel, European Commission, Rue de la Loi 200, B-1049 Bruxelles, Belgium.

La disputo centri¸is sur la ßajna misuzo de la angla DatumProtekta Akto kaj la kialo ke la Asocio registri¸is sub tiu Akto. LaΩ letero kiun mi ricevis de eksa aktivulo en unu el la regionaj federacioj, la asocio rifuzis provizi liston de membroj en ties federacia regiono, pro la DatumProtekta Akto. La longdaΩra aran¸o inter EAB kaj ¸iaj federacioj estis, ke filii¸intaj federacioj agis kiel regionaj filioj de EAB. La aran¸o dependis de tio, ke EAB provizu membrolistojn al la federacioj, kaj ke la federacioj ricevu popersonan pagon de EAB kiel procenton de la kotizoj. Tion ni nomis ‘kapkotizoj’. La kapkotizojn la asocio nuligis antaΩ kelkaj jaroj, same kiel la reprezentan Konsilan Komisionon. Kiam en la estrara kunsido en julio nia kasisto raportis ke la instancoj pri datumprotektado malregistris la asocion post la pripagita periodo, ßajne pro tio ke ne necesis esti registrita sub tiu akto, mi demandis, kial ni registri¸is sub la akto en la komenco. La respondo estis [‘Because we were told we had to’ [‘Çar oni diris ke ni devas’]. Mi atentigis, ke la protokolero pri tio rakontis alie, nome ke la estraranoj ne sciis çu ili devas registri¸i sub la akto, sed ke ili faros çiukaze. Mi ne trovis aludon al provo eltrovi pri tio, çu çe la instancoj, çu pere de ilia senpaga jura konsilisto. La evitemo al mia demando kaΩzis, ke mi pli insiste metis al la kasisto tiun demandon. En la oktobra kunveno de la Estraro, la koncernaj estraranoj plendis pri mia supozata konduto rilate al tiu demandado. La kasisto diris en la kunveno ke ßi ne plendas pri la enhavo, sed pri la tono. Çu aΩ ne mi kriis kaj agis en tute nedeca maniero estas punkto de disputo inter ni, sed la esenca afero estas la ßajna misuzo de la DatumProtekta Akto, kun la efiko ke ¸i serioze malhelpis min en mia priesplorado pri la kaΩzoj de membroperdado en la asocio, kaj kiu poste evidenti¸is havi rilaton kun la kolapso de filli¸intaj regionaj Esperanto-federacioj en Britio. Mi provis jam dum iom da tempo atentigi vin pri diversaj ßajnaj neregula√oj en la asocio, sed vi persiste ignoris miajn avertojn. Mi ne pretendas esti financa spertulo, sed mi supozus, ke se iu ajn membro de la asocio farus ian historian analizon de la kontoj de la asocio, kaj ne sukcesus trovi financan bazon por krizo kiu rezultis en la vendo de nia domo en Londono, li almenaΩ ne estus tuj nomita paranoja. Mi ne scias la bazon de la problemoj en EAB, sed se pro miaj eltrova√oj, vi venas al la ideo ke ili ne povas esti veraj sen ke estu ia komploto, do tio estas en via menso. Tia ideo tamen ne estus evidente paranoja se oni konsideras paralelajn aferojn kiuj estas ¸enerale raportitaj pri la afero Silfer, kaj pri okaza√oj rilate al Skota Esperanto-Asocio, pri kiuj mi jam provis vin atentigi. Skriban vortumon de la estrara decido mi petis en formo de letero en la nomo de la Estraro, eç se nur pro ¸entileco. Tamen tion vi rifuzis al mi. Estas do iomete malfacile skribe reagi al nurvoça decido, speciale kiam mi jam provis atentigi pri eventualaj misreprezentoj en la protokoloj. La decido, laΩ mia memoro, vokis por mia suspendi¸o [‘Calls for the suspension of …’]. Kiel mi esprimis en la kunveno, mi ne komprenas kion signifas tiu vortumo, kaj do mi petas de vi skriban klarigon. Mi bedaΩrus, se kvardek jaroj da amika kunlaborado devus tiel fini¸i, pro interveno de iuj en la Estraro de EAB kies ¸enerala sinteno al iuj ßlosilaj aktivuloj en la antaΩenigo de Esperanto ßajnas ne tiom simpatia kiom oni povus supozi de normale motivigitaj Esperantistoj. Ian Fantom
Reago de la Administra Komitato: Dum la kunveno la 11-an de februaro ni eç ne diskutis la ‘ßajnan misuzon de la angla DatumProtekta Akto’. Tial estas strange aserti, ke la disputo centri¸is sur ¸i. EAB devas same obei la Akton, se ¸i estas registrita aΩ ne registrita. Simile, oni ne diskutis la vendon de la oficejo en Londono, nek ‘la afero(n) Silfer’, nek ‘okaza√ojn rilate al Skota Esperanto-Asocio’. La diskuto temis pri sole la konduto de Ian Fantom de kiam li membri¸is en la Komitato. Ian – kun ceteraj komitatanoj – ricevis skriban version de la decido de la Komitato, en formo de protokolo de la kunveno, la 12-an de februaro, t.e. la tuj postan tagon. La protokolo de la kunveno estas la sola aΩtoritata registro de la decido. ‘Skriba klarigo’ estus nur la privata opinio de la skribanto. John Wells, Prezidanto
