By voting in EP elections, you choose who influences your future and the daily life of close to 500 million fellow Europeans. If you don’t bother, somebody else will - and decide who represents you at the only directly elected Pan-European assembly. Elected MEPs shape the future of Europe for 5 upcoming years. Get the Europe you want! If you don’t vote, don’t complain. More information: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/elections2009/default.htm?language=en |

In 2001 the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe decided to declare a "European Day of Languages" to be celebrated on 26 September each year. It is successful in involving millions of people across 45 countries in activities to celebrate linguistic diversity and the benefits of being able to speak another language. Many people young and old are encouraged to take up a language, or take special pride in their existing language skills. Those responsible for providing access to language learning are encouraged to make it easier for people to learn a range of languages, and to support policy initiatives to promote languages.
