Hr. formand, det er mig en stor glæde at tage ordet til støtte for minoritetssprog og individets ret til at kunne læse og studere litterære værker og andre skrifter på et sprog efter eget valg, hvilket undertiden kan være deres modersmål eller måske et andet sprog.
Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Foreign Minister, I believe it is right, at the end of the Italian presidency, to express a calm and considered judgement on these months of work. My judgement is broadly positive, because these months have been marked by a wealth of useful initiatives for the European Union, many of which were mentioned just now by Minister Dini.
