The Culture Committee of the European Parliament has approved a report urging the European Commission to promote, from early educational levels, the learning of the minority languages threatened with extinction, among them Catalan, after it has incorporated an amendment presented by MEP Ramon Tremosa.
In addition, the report recognises multilingualism 'as a richness and an expression of the European diversity' and requests funding for the period 2014-2020 to support endangered languages. The report also considers that multilingual societies which are cohesive and manage their linguistic diversity in a democratic and sustainable way, contribute to plurality, are more open and are in better conditions to contribute to the richness that represents linguistic diversity.
Surrealist! Catalan is considered a minoritary language? They know that catalan have 10 milions speakers in Europe? The estonian language only have 1 milion and it's official. If Europa wants to conserve a rich and strategic country like Catalonia will have to do more efforts to protect and safe the rights of catalan people.
