Promoting multilingualism within the EU

During an extremely busy week in Strasbourg, I met Slovakia’s Maros Sefcovic, the new EU Commissioner for Culture, Education and Training.

I reminded the new Commissioner of our group’s (European Free Alliance – E.F.A.) priorities in terms of promoting multilingualism. I emphasised the need to make progress on improving the status at EU level for Welsh, Catalan, Galician and other languages which are official in their own territories but are not yet full official EU languages. E.F.A. is pushing for interpretation to be made available so that these languages can be used in the European Parliament.
