lpv:spoken text	"I voted for this report because I believe that endangered and lesser used languages must be supported to preserve the richness of our society. The specific objective of this report was to examine how best to use linguistic diversity as a way to stimulate creativity and innovation. Languages have the capacity to promote the local and regional heritage in the EU context, thus contributing to economic and social development and constituting an irreplaceable raw material for the cultural and creative industries. An increasing number of endangered languages are threatened or disappearing. This own-initiative report thus aims to examine the situation of these languages in Europe, to raise awareness at European level about the implications of their disappearance and the need to react and take measures to preserve Europeʼs rich linguistic heritage. As an Irish MEP I know all too well the importance of protecting lesser used languages and was happy to support this motion as a result."@en1
