"President, today I voted in favour of the report on Endangered European languages and linguistic diversity. Considering, for example, the falling number of Scottish Gaelic speakers, I believe it is important to send a signal to Member States and the Commission that they should take measures to protect minority languages. I call on the Scottish Government to work closely with local government and private firms to maximise the drawdown of EU funds such as Regional Development funding, the European Social Fund and Rural Development Fund to support technological investment during the next multiannual period.
I believe that more can be done to increase the numbers of Gaelic speakers by focusing investment in areas where it will be most effective and by making the most of EU funds to support secondary and tertiary education systems. On the EU budget committee, despite deep cuts, I secured an increase in funding opportunities in the 2014-2020 budget for technology development and online learning, to reach out further to preserve the language and the culture of the communities."@en1
