Promotion of Multilingualism
The Civil Society Platform on Multilingualism was launched by the European Commission in October 2009. At the inaugural meeting of the Platform Commissioner Orban emphasised that multilingualism policy, if sensitively framed and implemented by the EU institutions in close cooperation with Member States and regional authorities, has the potential to contribute towards the realisation of wider EU goals, such as bringing Europe closer to the citizen, and strengthening pan-European identity in harmony with national and regional identities.
