lpv:translated text	". I am vehemently in favour of keeping, indeed developing, cultural diversity in Europe, particularly at this time when it is being enlarged to comprise twenty-five Member States. Since languages are the main component of this diversity, then I am in favour of linguistic enlargement, in spite of any material or technical difficulties that may arise from it. Incidentally, I fear that there is a double game being played by those who are arguing for an increase in the number of languages, with the actual aim of better establishing the monopoly of English. Therefore, we need to work on the language question, in particular by again giving objective consideration to Esperanto. The monopoly of English is neither good for Europe nor for Great Britain, whose language will become a mere ‘nuts and bolts language’"@en1
