(22 December 1999)

Will the Council outline its policy on the safeguarding and promoting of lesser-used languages in the

The Council has constantly underlined certain principles with respect to linguistic diversity within the
Community, and recalls that the Lingua action under the current education programme Socrates specifies
priority support for the least widely used and least taught languages of the European Union. Due
consideration would moreover be given by the Council to any future Commission proposals concerning
lesser-used languages.
