European Year of Languages
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the designation of 2001 as “European Year of Languages”; further welcomes the year’s aim of celebrating Europe’s linguistic heritage and promoting language learning; notes that individual member states decide which languages should be included; recognises the high prestige in which the Gaelic and Scots languages are held internationally, and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to have Scots and Gaelic designated as eligible for this important project.
