"Madam President, in Europe, cultural diversity is a value which all of us must take action to defend. However, this has not always been the case. On our continent, there are numerous unique cultures which are threatened with extinction. The Csango Hungarians in the Romanian region of Moldova are one such endangered community as well. Recommendation 1521/2001 of the Council of Europe urges saving this Csango minority culture, while outlining specific measures. Although there have been steps forward in the matter over the last decade as a result of the recommendation, the situation is far from satisfactory. The Council of Europe does not have at its disposal the European legislation or a mechanism of accountability that makes compliance with this possible and which ensures the effective functioning of the European Union. The Council of Europe is ahead of the EU in many issues concerning the provision of human rights at a high level, but its recommendation and its treaties cannot achieve the desired effect. If the European Union takes the principle of honouring cultural and linguistic diversity seriously, which Article 3 of the EU Treaty also advocates, everything must be done to ensure that this principle is enforced in actual cases. Let us start with the Csango Hungarian culture in Moldova."@en1
