"(
) The June List believes that cultural issues should fall within the political competence of the Member States.
This report does not form part of the legislative procedures and represents nothing more than the opinion of the European Parliament’s federalist majority that the EU should increase its interference in the cultural sphere still further.
As usual, the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education insists on propounding new costly programmes and agencies at EU level. We in the June List do not believe that a multiannual programme or a European Agency on linguistic diversity and language learning at EU level will make any difference to Europe’s approximately 500 million inhabitants, except to burden taxpayers even further.
Neither do we believe that the Commission’s plans for information and awareness campaigns regarding the benefits of language learning will have any effect on the real world. It is the Member States who, in their education policy, should motivate their respective citizens to learn languages. That is not a matter for the EU.
We have therefore voted against this report."@en1
