lpv:translated text	"The year 2013 will be the European Year of Citizens. I welcome this initiative from the Commission, which aims to return citizens to the heart of European political life, putting them back in their rightful place. However, the current context is not favourable to European enthusiasm. The crisis in the euro area, the difficulties facing Greece; neither of these factors encourage citizens to turn to the Union. Will they wish to participate in a public consultation issued by the Commission if they have to be able to use English or one of the other languages that is deemed ‘important’? As I understand it, all of the official languages in the Member States are ‘important’, not just the 23 EU official languages. Let us be consistent. If we want committed European citizens, we must give them the resources to make this commitment. If we wish to introduce a truly European political area, let us allow all of our fellow citizens to participate in European political life."@en1
