lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to give an explanation of my negative vote on the report on the European Year of Languages. Firstly, language occupies an important place in European civilisation and culture, irrespective of numerical considerations regarding the size of the population. This statement is thoroughly valid for lesser-used languages. Secondly, the target year for this decision is 2001; European citizens could become proficient in other languages as is shown by the fact that all people who speak minority languages, without exception, have in common an excellent training in this field. All of them are already bilingual. It is completely wrong to exclude minority languages from this initiative. It is regrettable that this House has not accepted the important services that lesser-used languages could contribute to the success of this initiative."@en1
