"I definitely support the multilingualism of the European Union. The multilingualism of Europe emphasises its cultural pluralism, which is evidence of its uniqueness. The language competences of the citizens of a united Europe should constantly be extended. Multilingualism is an essential element of European integration, allowing EU citizens to choose freely their place of residence and where to find work. At the same time it is necessary to emphasise the significance of the mother tongue as a means for gaining a suitable education and professional qualifications.
We should pay special attention to the continual need to raise the competence of foreign-language teachers and to introduce new teaching methods. The rapporteur emphasises the significance of giving help with learning foreign languages to citizens who want to learn on their own, noting at the same time the importance of the acquisition of foreign languages by elderly people. Like the rapporteur I think it is essential to give permanent support to citizens for learning foreign languages, and that particular attention should be paid to citizens in disadvantaged situations. I think that language learning will combat discrimination and support integration of the counties of a united Europe.
I fully support the demands of the European Parliament regarding the multilingualism of Europe."@en1
