Commission to fund further European Year of Languages projects

Commission to fund further European Year of Languages projects

The European Commission is to support 142 more projects under the European Year of Languages 2001. The funding totals almost 4.2 million euros and is additional to the 1.75 million euros allocated to 43 projects in January. More than 1,300 applications were received in all. Commenting on the new projects, the Education and Culture Commissioner, Viviane Reding, said: "I am delighted that we received so many high-quality applications. This shows the enormous interest in the European Year of Languages. These projects will be crucial in getting across our messages that Europe will always be multilingual and that learning languages is an opportunity for everybody."
