lpv:translated text	"The resolution on multilingualism is an asset for Europe and an important step towards an educated Europe, for it insists that the official languages of the EU are recognised as having equal value in all areas of public life. I firmly believe that Europe’s linguistic diversity represents a major cultural asset. It would be wrong for the EU to be limited to just one language. The resolution mentions the importance of multilingualism, which applies not only to the economic and social spheres but also to cultural and scientific output and the promotion of such output, as well as the importance of literary and technical translations for the long-term development of the EÚ. Last but not least, languages play an important role in forming and strengthening identity. Multilingualism is an area with wide ramifications. It has an enormous impact on the lives of European citizens. Member States are challenged to incorporate multilingualism not only in education but also in all future policies. I appreciate the fact that the resolution supports the study of a second EU language for officials coming into contact with citizens from other Member States in the course of their work. The role of EU institutions is decisive for securing compliance with the principles of linguistic equality, both in relations between Member States and in individual EU institutions, and also in relationships between EU citizens and domestic institutions, Community bodies and international institutions. I have supported the resolution, I congratulate the rapporteur and I am proud to have been the first Slovak Member to launch a discussion on multilingualism within institutional frameworks through a written declaration."@en1
