Among the 24 languages, Catalan has as many speakers as:

* Portuguese
* Czech

... and close to Swedish, Greek and Hungarian.

Catalan has more speakers than:

* Bulgarian
* Croatian
* Danish
* Finnish
* Norwegian
* Slovak
* Lithuanian
* Slovene
* Irish
* Maltese

Catalan would list as No. 12 in Europe. Considering there are 27 countries in the EU, official status is more than warranted.

Wonderful. Now please add a language with 10 million speakers across 3 EU countries: Catalan.

Many of the EU official languages have far less speakers. There's no reason whatsoever for discriminating against 10 million of your own citizens.
