A European Parliament Resolution of 13 December 2001 called for measures to promote language learning and linguistic diversity. On 14 February 2002 the Education Council invited Member States to take concrete steps to promote linguistic diversity and language learning, and invited the European Commission to draw up proposals in these fields. This action plan is the European Commission’s response to that request. It should be read in conjunction with the consultation document ‘Promoting language learning and linguistic diversity’, which sets out the European Commission’s philosophy and the context for the actions proposed.
