July 27, 2007, in Céret took place the signature of the framework agreement for launching the Eurodistrict project Establishment of a Common Fund to support projects of cooperation across the Catalan space, and common development of cross-border projects, the General Council and the Casa de la Generalitat de Catalunya in Perpignan.

Catalan language

A study in 1997 found that 55% of the population understand, 39% can read and 34% can speak Catalan. It found a higher percentage of speakers in villages and lower in the capital city. Although Catalan has no official status, it was first recognised in 1951 when it was introduced into the school curriculum. The Region of Languedoc-Roussillon created an agency for the promotion of the two regional languages, Catalan and Occitan.

At the session of 10 December 2007, the General Council approved the "Charter for Catalan" in which the Pyrénées-Orientales is committed to ensure the promotion, development and dissemination of the Catalan language and the Catalan culture. It says in the Preamble: "Catalan, is born more than a thousand years, is one of the pillars of our identity, heritage and richness of the department of Pyrénées-Orientales (Northern Catalonia). The term Northern Catalonia gets its first official recognition.

Automatic defibrillators

Defibrillator of General Council on the city hall of Collioure

The Pyrénées-Orientales is conducting a pilot study of installation of automatic defibrillators.Шаблон:Update needed On April 2, 2007, the General Council first decided to purchase defibrillators for 22 municipalities located more than 20 minutes from emergency medical services. Since March 2008, when a defibrillator was installed in Mosset, 141 municipalities have them, the objective being to equip all 226 municipalities and the 22 General Council buildings. Certain municipalities have also decided to install additional defibrillators at highly frequented locations.

After a presentation to the French Council of Mayors, other French departments and regions are also considering the installation of automatic defibrillators.

The devices require a telephone line and an ADSL connection, and their ground support equipment makes use of GPS. Thus, their installation also helps to reduce the digital divide in formerly poorly connected villages.
