"Mr President, on 26 September the EU celebrates its linguistic diversity. The events focus on the idea that languages are bridges for culture, and that the learning of foreign languages and the ability to communicate across the language barrier should be encouraged.
These events and the Commission’s communications entirely neglect the need to maintain the teaching of Ancient Greek and Latin throughout Europe. These classical languages are the source of many words and expressions in all the languages of Europe and beyond.
At the same time, the Green Paper on ‘Migration and Mobility: challenges and opportunities for EU education systems’ is open for consultation. The Green Paper refers to the role of Council Directive 77/486
EEC on the education of the children of migrant workers, and takes a critical view of the piecemeal actions that have been taken over the past 30 years on the basis of that directive.
This is an opportunity to strengthen the teaching of the languages of European migrant workers."@en1
