lpv:translated text	"The undersigned members of the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left agree entirely with the point of view of both the Commission and the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education, the Media and Sport that language is a rather crucial component of human communication, whether it be the spoken or written language, sign language or body language. There are people who prefer Esperanto as a form of communication across national borders. There are also professional jargons, different dialects in one and the same country and minority languages which are now being recognised by democracies. It is also important for posterity to carry out research into languages which are dying out. In short, we believe that an understanding of the importance of language is invaluable and that the European Union ought to be acknowledging this beyond the mere one year of the present campaign. We hope that this view of ours is also shared by the Council and by national parliaments both within and outside the Union. The sums proposed by the Commission (EUR 8 million) and by the Committee (EUR 10 million) are too modest, in our opinion. It ought to be possible to spend the proposed sums of money on other things, for which reason we are completely abstaining from voting."@en1
