Abstract
The linguistic diversity of the EU is considered to be one of its strengths and characteristics. The responsibility for guaranteeing and supporting linguistic diversity and individual multilingualism rests on the governments of the member states. However, the European Commission is concerned about the uneven distribution of language competences in different member states and among different groups, as well as the limited range of foreign languages studied and spoken, with clear dominance by English.
